Baseball Pitcher of the Week: Staton, a junior from St. Petersburg, FL, had a complete-game 4-hit victory at Benedictine on Saturday. He allowed just 1 run and 1 walk while striking out 7. This is his second Pitcher of the Week award.
Baseball Player of the Week: Segraves, a sophomore from Overland Park, KS, hit .400 as the Pioneers took 3 of 4 from Benedictine. His walk-off RBI double won the first game in the series, and he was 4-4 in stolen bases (including a straight steal of home). This is his first Player of the Week award.
Softball Pitcher of the Week: Costa, a junior from Escalon, CA, picked up 3 victories and 1 save as the Pioneers went 6-0 last week. She had a 5-inning perfect game vs. Avila and followed that up with a 1-hitter vs. Missouri Valley. She closed the week with a 10-inning complete-game victory in game one vs. Graceland, and picked up the save in game two. In 23 innings, she allowed 1 run, 7 hits, and 5 walks while striking out 42. This is her third straight Pitcher of the Week Award and fourth overall. She is the defending National Pitcher of the Week as well.
