UMW’s Martin, Riley Sweep C2C Weekly Baseball Awards

UMW’s Martin, Riley Sweep C2C Weekly Baseball Awards

The Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference (C2C) has announced its weekly awards following the seventh week of the 2024 baseball season. Mary Washington's Oliver Martin claimed C2C Player of the Week honors, while the Eagles Gavin Riley was named C2C Pitcher of the Week.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Oliver Martin, Mary Washington

In three games this week, Mary Washington freshman Oliver Martin put on a laser show all over the field. The Eagles' catcher went 5-for-9 (.556) for the week.  He recorded a walk, single and a home run in Tuesday's blowout win over Eastern Mennonite, 18-6. In the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against Mt. St. Vincent, Martin went a crisp 3-for-3 with a double and a run scored, while drawing a walk in the second win of the weekend over Mt. St. Vincent. Behind the plate, Martin made it virtually impossible for base runners to swipe bags as he caught four of the seven would be base-stealers (.571%), including the potential go-ahead runs against the Dolphins in Game 2 on Sunday.

PITCHER OF THE WEEK: Gavin Riley, Mary Washington

In Gavin Riley's start of the week against Mt. St. Vincent, the junior shoved. He yielded just two base hits in his 6.2 shutout innings, striking out three along the way. Riley, too, was effective with his control as he walked just two batters, putting his weekly WHIP rate at 0.600. In the field, Riley was a perfect 3-for-3 in his fielding chance's as he generated a lot of weak contact on the ground and lazy fly balls to the outfield.
