Brescia University has added a middle infielder to their 2018 baseball roster with the verbal commitment of Trigg County second baseman Micah Brown Friday. Brown and Brescia both made the announcement official on their Twitter accounts.
Brown took over the second base job as a junior and hit .390 in 24 games for the Wildcats in 2017. His on-base percentage of .471 was second on the team, while his OPS (On base plus slugging percentage) of .894 was third for Trigg County. He scored 20 runs and stole seven bases last year.
He joins fellow Trigg County seniors Jake Terrell (Vol State College) and Ashton Plymale (Transylvania University) in announcing their college choice prior to the season.
Brescia is coached by Henderson County alum Christian McHatton, who is in his first season as head coach of the Bearcats, who play in the NAIA River States Conference. Brescia was 13-38 last year.
Brown joins Lyon County’s Brody Bridges and Dawson Springs’ Kevin Brooks as area baseball players who have committed to the Bearcats for 2018.
