INDIANAPOLIS – Trevecca and Alderson Broaddus hauled in Great Midwest Athletic Conference Baseball South Division Players of the Week honors as the league schedule officially started over the weekend.
Trevecca emerged with the top record in the South Division at 3-1. The Trojans swept Malone and split a two-game set with Walsh. Kentucky Wesleyan beat Walsh for the Panthers' two wins but ran into a buzzsaw of pitching against the combo of Malone's Roscoe Blackburn and Joshua Hurford.
Cedarville and Ohio Dominican are finishing up their two-game slate today with the Yellow Jackets splitting against a tough Lake Erie squad from the North Division. Alderson Broaddus went 1-3 while Davis & Elkins and Ohio Valley are seeking their first conference win.
Sam Mang has been on a power binge of his own as the Trojans improved to 12-10 overall through the first weekend of conference play. The junior slugger is in good company among the league leaders in home runs with previous divisional athletes of the week Joseph Burke (KWC) with 12 and Chuck Hooker (ABU) with seven.
His weekly line was a .385 batting average with two home runs, a triple, four runs scored and three RBI.
Mang left the yard two more times for a season total of nine and upped his RBI total to 26, a number that has him ranked fourth in the conference.
He launched a solo shot, his eighth of the spring, in game two of the doubleheader against Walsh.
Mang produced more power to close the series vs. Malone while catching in game two. He homered and tripled as part of a 3-for-3 day at the plate. He drove in two and scored three times as the Trojans swept the Pioneers.
Mang is now hitting a team-leading .338 on the season in 19 games with 23 hits, 13 of those going for extra bases.
