As a Freshman (2002): Appeared in 19 games as a freshman, all in reserve roles … singled in his only at-bat of the season at William & Mary (April 2), and later came around to score … scored game-tying run in Terps' upset victory over nationally-ranked Georgia Tech (April 13).
At Hoboken: Was one of the top players in the state of New Jersey at Hoboken High School ... batted .412 as a junior ... played in one of the nation's finest baseball showcases at the Area Code games in California ...
