Williamson, along with fellow Deacons Niko Spezial and Justin Van Grouw, helped guide the Turks to a league-best 34-14 record in the regular season, starting 34 games. He led the team with 10 home runs and a .381 batting average, while he was second on the team with 38 RBIs and third on the team with 11 doubles.
For the summer, Williamson went 48-for-126 at the plate.
