Findlay, Ashland Grab NCBWA Weekly Honors

NCBWA Release

DALLAS – Findlay's Mason Mayberry has been named the National Collegiate Baseball Writer's Association (NCBWA) Pitcher of the Week, while Ashland's J.P. Sorma was selected national Player of the Week.

Findlay senior Mason Mayberry had the best week of his career this past week, turning in a couple of double-digit strikeout games including his first collegiate no-hitter. Mayberry's ERA dropped over three points to a team-leading 1.67.

First, coming off 18 days since his previous start, Mayberry turned in a no-hitter on Tuesday, April 12 to give the Oilers a win over Saginaw Valley State University. In that game, Mason struck out 12, tying a career-high, and allowed just four base runners, two walks and two errors. It was the second no-hitter by an Oilers' pitcher this season after not recording a no-no in any of the previous 19 seasons. 

His next start would come on five-days rest and again, he delivered. Mayberry took a no-decision on the mound despite pitching seven innings, allowing no earned runs, just four hits, and striking out 10 batters.

Ashland junior third baseman/left fielder J.P. Sorma, in the midst of a breakout season, had a breakout week in six games at home against Lake Erie and at Hillsdale last week. He was 15-for-25 (.600) five home runs, five doubles, 14 RBIs and 12 runs scored.

Sorma leads the GLIAC with 11 home runs, and is tied for the conference lead with 39 RBIs.
