It also brought a surge from Brendan Powers.

The hot-hitting first-year has earned a starting place,

Adding key performances from his position at third base.

In a productive 3-0-1 week, the Amherst men were on fire,

And even with 14 at bats, Powers' simply did not tire.

Showing a veteran's poise he reached base 11 times in a row,

Against Westfield State and Wesleyan, he put on a good show.

Powers crushed two home runs, including a grand slam;

His .447 batting average proves his success is not a scam.

Powers knocked in 12 runs and scored seven more this week,

Helping the Jeffs put up a nine-game undefeated streak.

As April progresses and flowers sprout in May,

Expect more of the same from Powers: This Jeff is here to stay.
