Columbia Basin College sophomore Phil Liniger signed a letter of intent to play for Indiana State University.
Liniger, a Kamiakin High graduate, led the Hawks' offense last season with a .403 batting average, 17 doubles and 50 RBIs.
"I was pretty open-minded with (choosing a place to play)," Liniger said. "I wanted to play ball and it really didn't matter where I went."
