William Paterson senior center fielder Ron
Hawyard was selected the National Collegiate Baseball Writers
Association’s (NCBWA’s) Division III Hitter of the Week on April 3.
With his selection, Hayward became the first Pioneer ever to win the
national weekly award.
The NCBWA honor added to Hayward’s litany of honors for the week ending
March 30, as the senior was named the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC)
Baseball Player of the Week, the New Jersey Collegiate Baseball
Association (NJCBA) Co-Division II/III Player of the Week, and the ECAC
Division III Metro Region Player of the Week.
Hayward batted .706 (12-for-17) with five doubles, a triple, eight runs
scored, six runs batted in and four stolen bases as the Pioneers went 4-0.
He opened the week by going 4-for-5 with two runs and two stolen
bases in a 6-5 victory over Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on March 25.
He then followed up that effort with a 3-for-3, three-run,
three-RBI performance against Division II Queens College on March 26. To
cap the week, he went 5-for-9 with three doubles, and three RBI in the
Pioneers sweep of Rutgers-Newark.
