He set career highs in hits (35), RBI's (42) and batting average (.269) while leading the team in home runs (15) and walks (41) both of which are also career highs. Ludman tied the single game record for home runs in a season with three against Northeastern back on April 14. He hit three of a single game program record 10 team home runs en route to a 14-11 win over the Huskies.Â
Loynd earns CAA postseason honors for the third season in a row. He led the Blue Hens in RBI's with 52. At the plate, he hit .261, totalling 55 hits, tied the team lead in home runs with 12 and doubles with 13. He also drew 13 walks.
