Curtain call for Curt Smith
Curt Smith wrapped up his career at the University of Maine Wednesday night by being named the America East Player of the Year.
Smith had a monster year at the plate leading America East in four categories:
.403 batting average
.722 slugging percentage
60 runs scored
127 total bases
He finished second in on-base percentage (.498), tied for second in hits (71) and home runs (11), finished third in walks (32) and tied for fifth in doubles (17).
Two weeks ago infielder Ashley Waters earned the same honor for the Maine softball team. Neither team - baseball or softball - qualified for the playoffs.
