SCAC Players-of-the-Week

Offensive
QUINN SALMON OF MILLSAPS
COLLEGE, a
6-2, 200-pound senior first baseman from Lafayette, La., has been named the SCAC Offensive
Baseball Player-of-the-Week for games played Saturday, February
2 through Sunday, February 10.
After backing up Luke
Morrow at first base the previous three seasons and getting his first chance as
a regular starter for the Majors in 2008, Salmon had a breakout weekend,
going a combined 7-for-10 at the plate with 12 RBIs, eight runs scored, three
home runs (grand slam) and two doubles to help lead Millsaps to a three-game
weekend sweep at the Wilson/DeMarini Classic in Jackson. Salmon picked up his first career home run on Friday in an 18-9 win over
LaGrange in odd fashion, chugging around the bases after the ball stayed in the
park to record the rare inside-the-park home run. An inning later, he added to a
monster day with a grand slam over the left centerfield wall, followed by a pair
of RBI-singles to finish the day 4-for-5 from the plate with a total of nine
RBIs.

TYLER STEED
OF AUSTIN
COLLEGE, a first-year right-hander from McKinney, Texas, and
AARON WILLIAMS OF MILLSAPS COLLEGE, a first-year right-hander from
Covington, La., have been selected the SCAC
Baseball Co-Pitchers-of-the-Week for games played from Saturday,
February 2 through Sunday, February 10.
Steed
opened his college career with a strong performance against 17th-ranked Texas
Lutheran, pitching a complete game shutout in a 10-0 victory. Steed struck out
three while walking just one and scattering five hits in the game, and needed
just 86 pitches to pick up the win.
Williams in
his first career collegiate start,
helped the Majors to an 8-2 victory over the
SCAC preseason favorite
Rhodes College at home to complete a 3-0 weekend. In 5.0 innings of work, Williams tossed a one-hitter, while scattering
six strikeouts against just two walks.
