JACKSON, Mich. - After leading the Knights' offense to 65 runs scored in five games last week, the Crossroads League has named River Pecina as this week's Crossroads League Player of the Week. The honor is the second of the career for the Marian baseball freshman. 

Pecina had a huge week at the plate for RV Marian, going 11-of-17 with five home runs and eight extra-base hits for a slash line of .647/.682/1.706. The freshman knocked in 16 runs in his five games and scored 10 times. For the week, Pecina had two multi-homer games, which were the second and third of his young career, putting him in the team lead with 13 on the season. 

Marian travels to No. 23 IU-Southeast on Wednesday for a 3:00 p.m. game, before returning home to take on Bethel this weekend.
