He ranked first in the MASCAC in RBI and tied for the conference lead with eight homers and 16 doubles. Lyons ranked third in slugging percentage (.652), seventh in batting average (.362), and ninth in hits (50).

The Pittsfield product ranked second in the MASCAC in hits (60), runs scored (45) and doubles (13). Fields also possessed one of the strongest throwing arms in New England from his right field position.

Two other MASCAC players were selected to the NEIBA All-New England teams, both from Worcester State. Designated hitter Corey McDonald was a first-team selection and relief pitcher Robert Hayes was a second-team pick.
