The first scheduled Maloney Trophy Series game has lost out to the weather. The approaching winter storm forced the cancellation of today’s Millsaps-Belhaven game at Smith-Wills Stadium; no word yet on whether the game might be rescheduled. It would have been a good opener to the popular small college series. Belhaven, nationally ranked in NAIA, is off to a 3-0 start. NCAA Division III Millsaps won its first two games on Sunday. The Majors’ Will Hawkins was named the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference player of the week after getting five hits (including a home run) and seven RBIs in those two games. Hawkins, a senior from Nettleton, was a D-III All-America pick in football last fall and rates attention as a Ferriss Trophy candidate this season. He hit .353 with four homers and 40 RBIs in 2010.
P.S. Pulled from a pack of 2010 Bowman cards: a Drew Pomeranz first-year card. Could be worth something someday. The former Ole Miss star was the Cleveland Indians’ first-round pick back in June.
