ML - Nicholson: Big Hit in the Minutemen League: It can be difficult for a young player to step out of the shadows and assert himself in the Minutemen League, but last week Jeremy Nicholson of the University Point Deathclaws reminded everyone just why he's here as he threw up numbers that made him an easy selection for Player of the Week. Nicholson rocked opposing pitching for a .545 average (6-for-11), 2 home runs and 4 RBIs to come away with the award.
To date this year Nicholson is batting .349 with 10 home runs.

He compiled a .727 average (8-for-11) with 1 home run, 4 RBIs and 4 runs scored.
