ROSEMONT, Ill. — Former Mississippi State softball player Mia Davidson-Smith shined in her first season playing AUX for Athletes Unlimited, an abbreviated season compared to AU’s flagship softball season beginning in late July.
Davidson-Smith took home a bronze medal, accruing 1,122 total points during the two-week season, along with 382 stat points, which ranked second in the league.
“AUX was a great experience,” Davidson-Smith said in a press release Wednesday. “It was such a fun time, but a short amount of time to help me get prepared for Championships coming up. Winning a third place medal is pretty cool, especially being my first time playing AUX. I’m glad it gave me a chance to catch more.”
Athletes Unlimited competes as both a team and individually, with points assessed based on player performance game-to-game. The better the performance, the higher the point total.
Davidson-Smith set two AUX single-season records in her first season, hitting five home runs and recording seven hit-by-pitches. She hit .417 in 10 games with a .615 on-base percentage, 1.083 slugging percentage, 1.748 OPS, 12 runs scored, five homers and eight RBIs.
