He won the MAAC's Triple Crown with his .399 batting average to go along with his league-leading 24 home runs and 97 RBI. He shattered the conference's single-season record in RBI that had stood for over a decade, besting the mark by 16.

For his success, he has been named a Collegiate Baseball Newspaper All-American Third Team, the NEIBA Player of the Year, the MAAC Player of the Year, and an ABCA/Rawlings All-Region First Team selection.

Good for Charlie I can only imagine the work he has put in over the years to achieve his success. Nice to see it pay off. He is a lock to become a member of the FF HOF in the future. I hope to root for him some day in MLB. Go Charlie! Go Stags!
