Diamond Players of the Week
LSC Hitter
Trey Carter, Angelo State, Sr., Catcher, Sherman,
Texas/Sherman
Carter led the Rams in home runs, RBI and slugging
percentage as ASU locked up the No. 2-seed in this weekend's LSC
Championship Tournament. The Sherman native began the weekend
series at TAMUK by going 2-for-3 with two runs scored and five RBI.
Game two on Friday saw Carter go 3-for-6 with one run scored and
three RBI. In the first game on Saturday, Carter was hitless but
started the Rams' rally which gave them the lead for good. The
series finale saw Carter go 3-for-6 with two runs scored and four
RBI. For the weekend, Carter was 8-for-12 with one double, three
home runs, six runs scored, 12 RBI, a .550 on-base percentage and a
1.059 slugging percentage.
LSC Pitcher
Preston Vancil, Abilene Christian, Sr., Pitcher, Sacramento,
Calif./West Campus
Vancil was dominant last Friday in ACU's 7-1 win over
Tarleton State. The senior righthander struck out a
career-high 13 Texans and put together his fourth complete-game
effort of the season in the Wildcats' victory. Vancil only
allowed four baserunners to advance even to second base in the game
as he shut down the Tarleton State offense.
