HATTIESBURG - One week ago, Tim Lynch realized a dream.
The former Southern Miss star first baseman was selected by the New York Yankees in the ninth round of the Major League Baseball draft.
Tough to imagine that moment would be rivaled twice in the same day less than a week later. On Thursday, Lynch added to his list of postseason accolades after he was named a Third Team All-American by d1baseball.com. In addition, the story of his autograph-hound background — which was penned by FOX Sports’ senior baseball writer and MLB Network insider Ken Rosenthal — generated national buzz and kept Lynch busy scrolling through thousands of voice mails, text messages and social media mentions.
