Italy’s sophomore slugger, John Byers was named Honorable Mention All-District as a Utility/Designated Hitter in district 14-A. Byers was consistent at the plate while rising to the challenge in big moments. Byers abilities were most evident in the playoffs where his RBI contributions helped propel Italy to an area championship win. Italy could only manage two runs in their regional quarterfinal matchup against Trenton but both runs were RBIs off the bat of Byers. (Barry Byers)
