Mikell named NAC Rookie of The Week

2017 Apr 28

After helping the Castleton baseball team to a perfect 8-0 record in North Atlantic Conference action last week, Davis Mikell has been named NAC Rookie of the Week, as announched by the league office Monday afternoon.

Mikell enjoyed another stellar week both offensively and defensively for the Spartans. In eight NAC victories, the freshman hit safely in seven games while batting .385 (10-for-26) with a .484 on-base percentage and an impressive .846 slugging percentage. He belted three home runs, laced three doubles, recorded eight RBI, and scored eight runs, while drawing five walks. The Williston native also picked up his third win of the season on the mound, as he struck out eight and allowed three unearned runs on just two hits over 5.0 innings against New England College. In the same game after falling behind to the Pilgrims, 3-2, Mikell sparked a three-run sixth inning rally with a solo home run to help lead the Spartans to a 5-4 victory.
