He tied a national record with four grand slams and led the nation with 39 runs scored as just a freshman, and hit .300 or better at the plate in two of his last three seasons in the Black & Gold. Williams was selected in the seventh round of the 1969 Major League Baseball Draft by the Washington Senators, and spent three seasons in the minor leagues as well.
