Sean Johnson of Belmont Abbey and Reece Fields of North Greenville Capture Conference Carolinas Baseball Weekly Honors
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Sean Johnson of Belmont Abbey and Reece Fields of North Greenville have earned the weekly honors in Conference Carolinas baseball for the week ending March 20.
Johnson was selected as the Player of the Week, while Fields earned Pitcher of the Week accolades.
A senior centerfielder from Kansas City, Missouri, Johnson put together one of his strongest weeks of his career for the Crusaders, as he hit .588 (10-of-17), slugged 1.588 and had an on-base percentage of .611. He also drove in 12 runs, scored 10 times and collected seven extra-base hits including five home runs. In the final game of the three-game series against Barton, Johnson hit three home runs and drove in a career-high nine runs in the 21-5 win. During Saturday’s doubleheader, Johnson hit four home runs: a solo home run in the first game followed by a grand slam, three-run home run and two-run home run in that order. He had back-to-back four-hit games and his five home runs on the week give him nine on the season which is tied for the conference lead. He also is tied for the league lead with 10 doubles and is second in hits with 39.
Fields earned his third consecutive weekly honor as he combined with teammate Tristen Hudson to throw a no-hitter in a 13-0 win over Southern Wesleyan on Saturday. The sophomore right-handed pitcher from West Columbia, South Carolina improved to 5-1 on the season as he struck out 12 of the 16 batters he faced over five shutout frames in the victory. He currently ranks second in Conference Carolinas in strikeouts (53) and wins (5).
