Mainers’ Brian Harris named NECBL Player of Week
Infielder enjoys red-hot start to July

Sanford. ME- The NECBL has announced that Sanford Mainers infielder Brian Harris has been named the league’s player of the week.

Harris hit an astounding .750 during the first week of July, going nine for 12 at the plate to start the month of July. The Vanderbilt product also scored seven times and added four RBIs for the first-place Mainers. Hailing from Nashville, Harris also walked four times and held an on-base percentage of .813 during the week.

The 5’9, 180 pound right-handed hitter is batting at a .317 clip with four doubles and eight runs driven-in on the 2008 summer campaign. The soon-to-be junior at Vanderbilt has also played stellar defense for Sanford, spending most of his time at shortstop as well as starting a few games at second base for manager Joe Brown.

Harris just finished up his sophomore year at Vandy, hitting .268 in 42 games with two homers and 23 RBIs. He also recorded just four errors defensively in those 42 games on the infield. The Mainers continue their five-game homestand Tuesday night against the Vermont Mountaineers, who Sanford has beaten twice in the two matchups thus far this season. First pitch is set for 6:30.
