Nick Howell has been named the G-MAC’s Baseball Offensive Athlete of the Week for the second time this season after an impressive week at the plate against some great talent. Overall, Howell went 12-24 for the week (.500) with five doubles and seven runs scored.
 
Howell began his week in non-conference action against #12 Alabama-Huntsville in which he went 3-5 with a walk and two runs scored out of the lead-off spot. The afternoon included a double and a stolen base.
 
Over the weekend, the Trojans opened G-MAC play against Kentucky Wesleyan. The four game series was split by the two teams. Howell went 3-5 again in game one, a 9-6 win by TNU, with a double, two runs scored, a walk, and an RBI. On the week, he was a perfect 4-4 in stolen base attempts.
 
Howell now ranks second in the conference with his .418 batting average, but leads the way with 41 hits, 28 runs scored, 11 doubles, six triples, and is tied for first with 22 RBI.

Baseball Pitcher of the Week

Kaleb Moore has been named G-MAC Baseball Pitcher of the Week after throwing the conference’s first-ever no-hitter. The senior right-hander pitched a complete game (seven innings) and came extremely close to recording a perfect game.
 
In a non-conference outing against Kentucky State, Moore pitched seven innings without allowing a hit or a walk, and struck out 10 batters. He took the perfect game into the final inning and hit a batter with a pitch, allowing for the only person to reach base in the game for Kentucky State.
 
The no-hitter was the first for the Panthers in at least 25 years and was the first in conference for the G-MAC in only the second season of competition.
 
The win for Moore improved him to 2-1 on the season and the 10 strikeouts moved him into second place on the team with 16 strikeouts compared to just five walks in just 12 innings pitched.
