Excellent job by SI to win both games of the doubleheader! Mason Williams became the all-time single season hits leader last night and he has a promising future in the Major Leagues.
You think he def starts off in Tampa next year right Ricky?
I can see that as a possibility. The kid gets on base every single time!
