Matt Crandall has been named the Midwest Conference Position Player of the Week for his performance in a pair of Buccaneer wins in Ripon Saturday.
The junior outfielder had a career day at the plate to lead Beloit offensively. Crandall went 3-5 at the plate with all three hits going for extra bases including a triple and two homeruns in the opening game of the doubleheader. His seven runs batted in in the contest tied the program record for RBI in a game, a mark last hit in 2007. Crandall added three runs scored in the win. In game two, Crandall tallied a hit and a run scored helping the Bucs to the sweep of the Redhawks.
Beloit is slated to host St. Norbert College Saturday, April 10 for a pair of games at The Ballpark at Strong Stadium. The twinbill is scheduled for a noon start.
