BASEBALL TIGERS PLACE THREE ON ALL-ODAC SQUAD (May 6, 2009) SALEM, VA - Three members of the 2009 Hampden-Sydney baseball team were selected to the Old Dominion Athletic Conference all-league teams as selected by the coaches from around the conference. Earning First Team accolades was junior third baseman Matt Brown (Chester, VA/LC Bird). Joining Brown was sophomore designated hitter Herbie Williams (Danville, VA/George Washington) on the Second Team and sophomore catcher Zach Harrelson (Danville, VA/Geroge Washington) who earned Honorable Mention accolades. Brown was the clean up batter for much of the season batting .372 in his 38 games. He knocked in a team-high 43 RBI with 55 hits. His 19 doubles not only led the team, but also the ODAC. His clutch hitting was huge for Coach Kinne and the Tigers as his 18 2-out RBI were good for second in the ODAC. Brown also added four homeruns on the season. Williams showed this season he is one of the fastest players in the game as he stole 33 bases which led the Tigers and the ODAC. He was a game changer in 2009 with a .377 batting average, two doubles, an ODAC leading nine triples, and one homerun. Williams also batted in 23 runs while scoring 41 of his own. Harrelson had a solid sophomore campaign batting .348 on the year with six doubles and two triples. The catcher was also able to bat in 19 runs on the year while scoring 26 of his own. In his 33 games, he was the catalyst for the Tiger defense as he was involved in every play. The full All-Conference teams can be seen below:
