Skertich Captures SCAC Player of the Week

RYAN SKERTICH, a junior right-fielder from New Orleans, La., has been named the SCAC Baseball Offensive Player-of-the-Week for games played Monday, March 15 through Sunday, March 21.

The Millsaps right-fielder was off the charts this week as he led the Majors to a 6-0 mark, including a three-game sweep at Rhodes in SCAC Western Division play.

In six games, Skertich went 12 for 21 (.571) with 12 RBI, four homers, nine runs scored, three steals, a double, and a triple.

Among his hits, Skertich had a walk-off solo homer in the bottom of the ninth to beat Rhodes, 6-5 (Millsaps was the home team because it was a make-up game from an earlier rain-out in Jackson). He also played errorless ball in the outfield.
