He had a 17-game hitting streak between March 16 and April 16 which ranks third on the all-time list.

Randolph-Macon College took home three of the four major awards as third baseman Travis Lodge was named State Player of the Year and James Walsh was honored as State Pitcher of the year. Yellow Jacket head coach Ray Hedrick was tabbed as State Coach of the Year.
