BAY CITY, Mich. -- The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) has announced weekly baseball awards following week six of the 2017 campaign. Walsh senior Jordan Grubb earned GLIAC Baseball Player of the Week honors, while Tiffin freshman Michael Boswell captured Pitcher of the Week accolades.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK - Jordan Grubb, Walsh
Walsh senior Jordan Grubb had one of the best weeks in his career as went 12-for-21 with nine RBI, nine runs scored, two home runs, and four doubles in helping the Cavaliers to a 5-1 week in the GLIAC. He recorded multiple hit games in four of the six contests and had splits of .571/.583/1.048. On Tuesday against Lake Erie, he went a combined 5-of-6 with six RBI, four runs scored, a home run, and two doubles to help Walsh record its first four-game sweep ever in the GLIAC.
PITCHER OF THE WEEK - Michael Boswell, Tiffin
Tiffin University pitcher Michael Boswell was dominant last week defeating Hillsdale on Tuesday and Northwood on Saturday. Against the Chargers, Boswell tossed five innings allowing one run, a walk, and struck out four. The performance earned Michael his first collegiate victory. On Saturday, Boswell found himself against a formidable offense in the form of Northwood. The young Dragon was fearless, cruising through six shutout innings allowing one walk while punching out six in a 4-0 win. For the week, Boswell finished 2-0 with a 0.82 earned run average, walked only two batters in 11 innings pitched, and struck out ten.
