That's a dangerous use of backticks -- spaces in filenames, too many files, and other such conditions may cause your code to break.
That's also a useless use of ls. There's much better ways to get a variable into awk, and you certainly don't need to use ls twice to list one file.
Your awk problem is caused by a misplaced quote in the middle, causing the awk program to end early and feed the rest into BASH.
I'd try this:
If that complains there are too many files:
FILENAME is a special variable inside awk meaning 'the current file being processed'. I split it apart on the "." and print the third item found in it along with the columns you want.
