Harlingen South Hawks pitcher and infielder Josh Ruiz committed to play baseball at Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio.

Ruiz is coming off a junior season in which he took home Pitcher of the Year honors in district 32-5A.

He led the team in both batting average at the plate and earned run average on the mound, with a sub-1.00 ERA on the season. His play helped the Hawks clinch a postseason berth last spring.
