Later in the week, he picked up five more RBI, scored four runs and drew three walks as the Huskies won three of four from East Stroudsburg. He had multiple RBIs in four contests and did not strike out once all week.

Ward finished his freshman season at Bloomsburg with a .326 batting average, six doubles, six homeruns and 32 runs batted in. He shares the PSAC weekly award with Matt Cotellese of West Chester.
