NASHVILLE, Tenn. – For the second straight week, the Tennessee Sports Writers Association’s College Baseball Player of the Week honor went to Trevecca Nazarene senior Cade Moore as the Terre Haute, Ind., native came up big to help the Trojans into the postseason.
In a do-or-die series on the road at Lee, Trevecca went 2-1 as Moore hit .538 – 7-for-13 – as he collected three runs scored, two doubles, one home run with five total RBI. Moore had a .600 on-base percentage and was 2-for-3 on stolen bases.
On the hill, Belmont’s Zane Brown earned the Pitcher of the Week award after he threw a no-no against Valparaiso. The sophomore righty from Cottontown, Tenn., went the full nine, allowing just two walks. He also struck out a career-high nine in the victory.
The no-hitter was the 12th in Belmont history, the first since a combined no-no between James Buckelet and Greg Brody on April 5, 2014, against UT Martin and the first solo no-hitter since Lance Sewell vs. Martin Methodist in 1997.
SOFTBALL: Union senior Morgan Jennings had a big week to close out her career and earn Player of the Week honors. The Senatobia, Miss., product batted .545 -- 6-for-11 in her final series with two doubles, two triples, two RBI, eight runs scored, three stolen bases, twice hit by pitch and a sacrifice.
In her final game, Jennings ended a home run shy of the cycle.
In the circle, Chattanooga junior hurler Peja Goold was the Pitcher of the Week as she went 2-0 in the Mocs’ series against Samford, striking out 17 total in the series. In her first game, she struck out eight in a come-from-behind walk-off win. During the second game, the Stockton, Calif., native struck out nine and had a no-hitter going into the sixth. Goold finished allowing two hits and one run in the 5-1 victory.
