The junior from West Chester University added three doubles and a homer of his own, while also recording five RBIs, seven runs scored and 22 total bags. He was second in the league with a .607 on-base percentage, and tallied a .815 slugging percentage as well as being a perfect 2-for-2 on stolen base attempts.
On the mound, Brown pitched a complete game shutout of Gastonia on June 23.
