University of Southern Indiana junior right-hander Lucas Barnett (Sellersburg, Indiana) was named the PNC Great Lakes Valley Conference Baseball Pitcher of the Week. The weekly GLVC honor was the first of Barnett’s career at USI.
Rockhurst University junior outfielder David Stober joined Barnett in the weekly awards by being named the Player of the Week.
Barnett posted his sixth win of the year and helped USI to the GLVC East Division title with a complete game victory at the University of Indianapolis. He allowed one run on five hits, while striking out four in the complete game victory.
The junior right-hander is the second-straight Screaming Eagle to win the weekly pitching honor with USI’s senior right-hander T.J. Decker (Brazil, Indiana) taking the award last week. USI also has had a pair of Player of the Week honorees this season — senior catcher Ryan Bertram (Zionsville, Indiana) and senior shortstop Kyle Niemeier (Evansville, Indiana)
The Eagles start GLVC Tournament action on Thursday at 6 p.m. when they play William Jewell College in the first round. The GLVC Tournament runs through Sunday at Grand Park in Westfield, Indiana.
