| Breaking News |  | Wednesday, September 5th, 2007: SL1 Gives out Outstanding Hitter Award, Williamson Gets Prize
A great year at the plate is often interrupted by injuries and slumps that crop up through the long season. Not the case for first baseman Antone Williamson, who nailed down the Sub League 1 Outstanding Hitter Award with his strong consistent output from start to finish.
He put up a .330 average and .427 on-base percentage in 2007 as he totaled 151 hits, 38 doubles, 4 triples, 24 home runs, 107 RBIs and 78 runs scored.
For being named the SL1's top hitter, Williamson will be honored at the SION Baseball Writers awards banquet this weekend. |
