Jamison (Atlanta, Ga.) finished the week hitting .769 in three games (all starts) in 13 official at-bats. He finished the week going 10-for-13 with a pair of doubles and a pair of home runs for Alabama State in their series sweep over Mississippi Valley State. He drove in seven runs and scored six more, while slugging 1.385 and having an on-base percentage of .800.
