For the second time this month, the Baldwin-Wallace College baseball team has swept the Ohio Athletic Conference Players of the Week awards.
Senior second baseman Kevin Brown was named Hitter of the Week on Monday after going four for six with a double, six runs and five RBIs last week. He collected four of his five RBIs in the Yellow Jackets’ 12–5, home-opener win against Notre Dame College on March 22.
Junior pitcher Brian Pille picked up his first collegiate victory in the Notre Dame game, and was rewarded with Pitcher of the Week honors. In six innings of work, he allowed just one earned run and racked up seven strikeouts.
Two weeks ago, senior outfielder Mike Farrell and junior pitcher Clayton Kynkor won Player of the Week awards for their performances at the Gene Cusic Collegiate Classic in Ft. Myers, Fla. The Jackets went 6–3 at the Classic, outscoring their opponents 60–43.
Farrell hit .423 with three doubles and three home runs at the Classic. In nine games, he scored eight runs and knocked in eight. Kynkor won both of his starts on the trip, allowing only a single earned run in 13 innings and striking out 11 batters.
