In the tightly contested Wild Boars team hitting title, the lead went back and forth between Zach Carroll and Team Captain Meade Tabata. It came down to 1 extra base hit a triple by Tabata that got him the title.

In the Boars new points system that gives all hitters a base point and adds points to it based upon what they do at the plate Tabata finished with 94 points, Carroll finished with 90 said  Mgr. Joe Cantrell. "The Boars went to this system in 2017 in an effort to fend off the arguments of favoritism and to create a system in which all players could compete",  Cantrell added.  "The points give all players a base starting point based on average over .400 gets you 20 points  over .300 you start at 15 points and acquire points as follows, Hits - 1 point per hit, doubles 2- points per hit, triple gets you 3 points plus your 1 for your hit, and Home runs get 5. Stolen bases, base on balls, and RBI's get 1 point a piece add them all up and you get what you get".

Meade Tabata led the Boars with his team high .440 average hits, 13 base on balls, 8 doubles 1 triple, 15 RBI's, 5 stolen bases and was hit by 4 pitches. Carroll led the Boars with 30 hits and drove in 19 runs which made the points so close but in the end it came to 1 extra base hit and digging hard to make the extra base.

Meade Tabata picks up his first team hitting title since joining the Boars in 2015 where he saw limited action and again in 2016 when he was deployed.

All of the Boars want to say Congratulations to Meade Tabata the Boars 2017 Wild Boars Hitting Leader.
