WEEK 7 STATS: 4 starts, .471 BA (8-for-17), 2 HR, 2 3B, 2B, 3 RBI, 6 runs
Ward did not strike out while extending his hit streak to 10 games last week. Five of his eight hits went for extra bases. He reached base safely at least three times and scored two runs in each of the Bulldogs' three wins. Over four games, he hit .471 (8-for-17) with two walks, two home runs, two triples, one double, three RBI and six runs scored. His two-run homer broke a 3-3 tie in the seventh inning of a mid-week victory over Ivy League member Brown. After going 1-for-4 in a series-opening defeat to the Mount, Ward bounced back by tripling and walking twice in a 9-2 win. The redshirt freshman enjoyed a three-hit performance in the rubber game. He led off the bottom of the first inning by launching a long ball over the right-field wall. Ward proceeded to triple in the sixth before adding a lead-off single in the eighth frame of the 9-3 triumph.
