Williams, a junior from Haymarket, Va., was ever-present on the basebaths last week, reaching safely in 12-of-14 plate appearances on the way to an .800/.857/1.400 slash line to help nationally 11th-ranked Shenandoah to a 2-1 showing against ODAC competition. Williams went 8-for-10 overall with three doubles, a homer, six RBI, six runs scored, two stolen bases, three walks, and a HBP. In a 4-2 loss at Washington and Lee in a midweek clash, Williams went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, and a run driven in. He also threw out a would-be base stealer from behind the dish. In a doubleheader road sweep (9-2, 12-1) over Virginia Wesleyan, Williams went a combined 5-for-7 with five RBI and six runs scored. He doubled and walked in game one and then hammered a three-run homer to cap the scoring in game two. He stole a base in each outing. For the season, Williams is hitting .509 (28-of-55) with a 1.529 OPS powered by seven doubles, three triples, and three homers. He has driven in 22 runs and scored 19 times.
