Hawks’ Baseball Players Earn All-SUNYAC Honors

NEW PALTZ — Three players from the men’s baseball team at the State University of New York at New Paltz earned post-season All- Conference accolades. Senior first baseman, Vinny Perry (Kingston, NY), made All-SUNYAC (State University of New York Athletics Conference) first team while Junior, shortstop Randy Walters (Collierville, TN) and Junior, left fielder Kevin Smith (Niskayuna, NY) made second team.

Perry, selected to his third All-Conference Team, finished his senior year, hitting .358 with 21 runs batted in. Leading the team, Smith and Walters finished the season tied with an overall batting average of .381 with 17 and 21 RBI’s respectively. In addition, Randy Walters set a New Paltz single season record with 53 hits.

“All three are worthy members of the All-SUNYAC Conference Team,” remarked Head Coach Mike Juhl.

With Smith and Walters returning, Coach Juhl looks to build his offense around the two powerhouses at the plate in the upcoming season.
