He was on track for new career highs as he was averaging .302 at the plate with a .423 on-base percentage, and a .628 slugging percentage. He was 13-for-43 with 11 runs scored and 15 RBI, just six shy of last season where the Skyhawks played 46 games. He chipped in three doubles, one triple, and matched last season's homerun tally with three. He walked eight times with just six strikeouts, stealing one base. In the field he saw a .875 fielding percentage as he helped turn three double plays with 23 assists.
