William Haker’s two-way excellence has fueled the Uxbridge Spartans to a 10–3 record and a finalist nod for the Worcester Telegram & Gazette’s Central Mass. Baseball Player of the Week. In a pivotal road victory at Auburn, Haker delivered 5 ⅓ innings of shutout baseball, mixing precise fastballs with well-placed changeups to neutralize a potent lineup. Two nights later, he unleashed an offensive clinic against Quaboag, driving in six runs and sparking a 22–0 dominant win. Despite a late collapse in a 6–7 setback to Grafton, where Uxbridge surrendered its sixth-inning lead, Haker’s consistency has been the stabilizing force. His veteran presence and performance under pressure have inspired the batting order and provided the Spartans with a clear offensive and pitching ace. Tomorrow at 3:30 PM, Uxbridge hosts St Paul, entering as heavy favorites. Haker’s dual role will again be crucial: whether shutting down opposing hitters on the mound or delivering clutch hits at the plate, his impact often dictates the game’s outcome. As Uxbridge pursues a 13th win, Haker’s Player of the Week candidacy adds extra intrigue to what’s sure to be another Spartan showcase.
