Noah Powell Named MAC Baseball Player of the Week
March 26, 2018 | Baseball
CLEVELAND, Ohio – Sophomore infielder Noah Powell was named the Mid-American Conference Baseball Player of the Week the league announced today. This was the third time in six weeks a Ball State player has come away with this honor.
Powell helped the Cardinals become the first league team to win a series at Kent State since April 2015 this past weekend. He hit his first collegiate home run in Friday's opener, a two-run shot, to give the Cardinals an early 2-0 lead on the way to a 5-1 victory. The shortstop also had an RBI single in Friday's victory. Powell scored a run in the eighth inning in Ball State's 7-2 win on Sunday. Powell also helped the Cardinals turn two double plays in the series finale.
The native of Fortville, Indiana, improved his batting average nearly 100 points this weekend from .238 to .324
Bowling Green's Kody Brown and Central Michigan's Michael Brettell shared MAC Pitcher of the Week accolades.
Ball State (12-11, 2-1 MAC) is in action today in a non-conference game at Valparaiso. The Cardinals are back at home this coming weekend against conference foe Central Michigan.
