Pack alum Williams is Frontier League All-Star

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - CSU-Pueblo baseball alumnus, Jeff Williams, now pitching for the Traverse City Beach Bums of the Frontier League, was selected as a Frontier League All-Star, the league reported Monday.

Williams was added to the Traverse City roster at the end of spring training in 2007 and set a team record for saves last year. This season, he leads the Frontier League with 10 saves in his 17 appearances. Three times he has posted the last five outs of a contest, leaving the tying runs on base in the eighth. He has pitched in 18 games and has not allowed a run over the last 12.1 innings of work. His ERA sits at 0.98 entering play on Sunday, when he threw a scoreless frame.

Williams is one of the top pitchers in CSU-Pueblo history, having posted back-to-back 10-win seasons in 2005 and 2006, the only pitcher in school history who can claim two 10-win campaigns. His 20 career wins is the fourth-highest win total in CSU-Pueblo history, and his career ERA of 3.70 is the fourth-lowest in school history.
