Dutton, a sophomore, led the team in hits (57), runs (56) and home runs (12). The sophomore batted .460 and drove in 54 RBIs.
Chappell, a junior, proved to be vital not only behind the plate, but in the field and on the mound in the season that saw the Jays finish with a 27-13 record. Chappell led the team in doubles (19), RBIs (55), and batting average (.478). Chappell also connected for nine round trippers.
