The Gordonsville, Tenn., native posted two hits and scored a run in the first contest versus the Dragons and belted a pair of solo homers and walked twice in the second contest, a 4-2 TNU victory.
The junior homered again in the third game of the series, another solo shot, scored twice, added another RBI and collected two more free passes. In the series finale he walked twice, scored once and recorded one RBI.
