MAPLEWOOD/SOUTH ORANGE — Four Columbia High School baseball players signed letters of intent with their respective colleges on Wednesday, Nov. 10.
The following are the student-athletes and their college choices:
- Akshay Heda, Pacific Lutheran University.
- Dylan Sullivan, Utica College.
- Matthew Motiwalla, Brandeis University.
- Luke Nomura, Fairfield University.
CHS head coach Ryan Muirhead praised the four players.
Akshay Heda and Matt Motiwalla are both corner infielders who swing from the left side of the plate, Muirhead noted.
“Heda spent most of his time at 3B or DH-ing last year while Matt played a majority of the innings at 1B,” Muirhead stated. “Both players hit in the middle of the lineup last year and we hope will be big producers this spring.”
Sullivan’s hard work paid dividends, Muirhead noted.
