Holmes, Garner secure MCBSA weekly awards

| By:

STANDISH, Maine – The Maine College Baseball and Softball Association revealed its weekly award winners on Tuesday and Husson University baseball juniors Matt Holmes and Ryan Garner were honored.

Holmes earned his second player of the week award for the North Atlantic Conference and his first MCBSA weekly award after he put together a dominant week of conference action for the Eagles, who went 5-1 over the week, picking up a doubleheader split with SUNY Cobleskill on Monday, before sweeping a four-game weekend series with Lesley University. Holmes went 10-17 at the plate, recording one double, one triple and one home run during the week, while also driving in nine runs, including a two-run single on Friday night in game two against Lesley to give Husson the eventual game-winning runs, in addition to a walk-off hit by pitch in game one on Saturday. Also at the plate, Holmes drew six walks and one stolen base and struck out just once during the week to help boost his batting average from .300 to .404.

Garner was named pitcher of the week in the NAC and MCBSA following a great week on the mound for Husson in his three appearances, recording one win and two saves for the Eagles in a 5-1 week overall for the team. Against SUNY Cobleskill on Monday, Garner hurled two innings and surrendered just one hit, while punching out one batter to earn the first save of his career. In game two against Lesley University on Friday, Garner closed out the seventh inning in one-two-three fashion with two of those outs being strikeouts to help the Eagles sweep Friday's double-dip. Garner concluded the week on Saturday with a vital 2.2 innings pitched in the series finale against Lesly, by allowing just two walks during the outing and recording three strikeouts, as the Eagles walked-off Lesley for a second time on the day. For the week, Garner totaled 5.2 innings pitched, while allowing just one hit and two walks, adding six strikeouts.

The Eagles are back on the field today for a matchup at Bowdoin College at 5 p.m.
