ROCK HILL, S.C. (TheSAC.com) – Newberry infielder Kevin Clanton has been named the South Atlantic Conference AstroTurf Baseball Player of the Week, and Wingate right-handed pitcher Hunter Morgan has been named the South Atlantic Conference AstroTurf Baseball Pitcher of the Week for games played April 16-22, the League announced today.
Clanton, a freshman from Rockledge, Fla., had an outstanding week for the Wolves as he batted .632, going 12-for-19 with a double and two home runs. He drove in 11 runs for the Wolves in their three-game SAC series against Anderson, including plating five runs in game one and another four in game three. He also scored six runs and had a stolen base.
Morgan, a senior from Summerfield, N.C., earned his second complete-game victory in as many weeks, as he went the distance in the Bulldogs 8-2 win over Catawba. Morgan threw nine full innings, allowing just one earned run on seven hits with six strikeouts and a walk.
This is Clanton's first Player of the Week honor, while this is Morgan's second Pitcher of the Week accolade this season.
