Franklin Selected by Padres in MLB Draft

RHP Chris Franklin was selected by the San Diego Padres in the 12th round of the 2010 MLB Draft.  The Oneonta, AL native was the 364th overall selection earlier this afternoon.  Franklin leaves SLU as the Lions all time saves leader with 19, to go along with a 13-9 record.  In his two year career Franklin recorded 115 strikeouts.  In 2008 his 12 saves set the SLU single season record which propelled him to be named to the NCBWA All-American team.

Congratulations Chris!
