Harris Earns Weekly Honor
Clarkson University’s rising junior David Harris was named the West Division’s Player of the Week in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League for the period of July 13th through 19th, recognizing his exceptional performance on the diamond.
During that stretch, Harris compiled a .471 batting average, adding three extra‑base hits, five runs scored and four runs batted in, while also contributing to a team‑wide 11‑game hitting streak that has kept the Niagara Falls Americans surging through the summer schedule.
The award underscores a season of steady growth for the junior, who in his first two collegiate seasons has appeared in 49 games, batting .273 with 42 hits in 154 at‑bats, and who previously led the Clarkson squad with 22 RBIs in the spring campaign.
A Momentum‑Driven Outlook
Harris’s current .463 average for the 2026 summer underscores his ability to translate collegiate success into high‑level performance, a trend that bodes well for both his personal development and the Americans’ playoff aspirations.
Coaches and teammates alike note the positive ripple effect of his consistency, suggesting that the team’s offensive firepower could see a marked increase as the season progresses.
