Hitter of the Week - Trey Silvers, Lamar
Silvers had an epic week punctuated by a three home run game Saturday to pace the Cardinals' win at Abilene Christian. The three round-trippers tied a Lamar school record. Silvers' initial blast came in the first inning and put the Cardinals up 3-0. The second gave Lamar a 7-5 lead, while the third came in the ninth to help salt away the 13-8 victory.
In four contests last week, the senior first baseman went 7-for-15 at the plate (.467) with six RBIs. Silver's slugging percentage for the four games was 1.200, while his on-base percentage was .579.
The Manvel, Texas (Manvel High School), product reached base in all four games and five of his seven hits were of the extra base variety.

Pitcher of the Week - Mac Sceroler, Southeastern Louisiana
Sceroler matched a stellar performance last week to again secure Pitcher of the Week honors.
On Friday, the right-hander tossed a complete game shutout as Southeastern Louisiana topped Nicholls 4-0. Sceroler, from Denham Springs, La. (Denham Springs High School), allowed just two hits and two walks while striking out nine.
The win, which comes on the heels of Sceroler tossing eight innings of scoreless baseball in his previous start, extends his shutout streak to 20 consecutive innings.
The performance Friday helped the Lions snap a two-game skid and moved the junior's record to 7-1 this year.
