Jackson, Mich. - After a big 4-1 week that featured an upset of No. 19 Indiana Tech and a series win against Indiana Wesleyan, the Marian baseball team swept the Crossroads League's Players of the Week, as
Hector Corona was voted as the top player in the past week, while
Eli Loichinger was named the league's Pitcher of the Week.
Hector Corona led RV Marian to a 4-1 week by hitting .538 with six extra-base hits in his 13 at-bats. The sophomore also walked seven times for a .714 on-base percentage and added seven runs and six runs batted in. Of his extra base hits, Corona had two games with two doubles, and added a triple and home run on the week. His home run was his first since the opening weekend of the season.
Eli Loichinger fired a gem for RV Marian in its 7-0 win over Indiana Wesleyan. The sophomore righty fanned nine over seven scoreless frames and allowed only three hits and two walks in the complete game. His complete game was not only the first of his career, but also the first shutout in his young career. Loichinger is third in the Crossroads League in wins and fourth in ERA this season.Â
The Knights begin a six-game road stint on Tuesday afternoon, traveling to Oakland City for a 2:00 p.m. contest.
