April 24, 2023 | Baseball
CLEVELAND – The Mid-American Conference announced its weekly Player and Pitcher of the Week honors on Monday. Ryan Peltier earned a Player of the Week accolade after a monster weekend at the plate.
Ryan Peltier led Ball State five home runs and posted a team-high 12 RBIs. He recorded a .368 batting average and finished the week with seven runs scored and one triple. In the weekend series against NIU, he hit five home runs, a triple, and a single. He also drew one walk and was a perfect 1-for-1 on stolen base attempts. In Sunday's 15-5 victory, he hit three home runs and became the 38th play to hit three home runs in a single game. Defensively, he produced a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage with three putouts and five assists.
"Ryan Peltier let his star shine this weekend hitting 5 home runs and a triple to carry our team," said Head Coach Rich Maloney. "It was a special weekend for a special player."
Ball State remains at home for a midweek rematch with in-state foe Indiana on Tuesday. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m.
