Genesis Hillard

For the third time this spring, Hillard was selected for conference player of the week honors with a monster two-game showcase in league play against Lake Erie.
 
The senior outfielder continued to feature his power and speed he hit .500 (7-14) and with three extra-base hits including a pair of home runs and a double. 
 
Hillard also scored six runs and was credited with nine RBI in just three games. He also walked twice. 
 
The Panthers continue to be contenders for the regular-season conference championship and are currently tied for third in the standings with Walsh. 
 
In Monday’s doubleheader on the road against Lake Erie, Hillard went 3-for-4 in game one with four RBI. He ripped a three-run blast in the top of the first inning to help get the Panthers on the board first in a 12-9 win. 
 
His next at-bat was a single and he had another RBI single in the fifth inning. Continuing to bat out of the No. 3 slot in the lineup in game two, Hillard crushed a grand slam in the fourth inning as part of a seven-run frame. 
 
Hillard is now batting a healthy .362 with 44 runs, six homers, 12 doubles and a pair of triples. 
 
Pitcher of the Week
Jake Roberson
Trevecca Nazarene
LHP
Senior
Springfield, TN (Springfield HS)
 
Roberson handcuffed Cedarville for a complete-game nine-inning shutout to start a Thursday doubleheader.
 
In a 3-0 TNU win, the Trojans’ southpaw pitched a five-hitter and recorded seven strikeouts. He walked none and faced five batters over the minimum.
 
Roberson received some run support in the sixth inning, but he retired six straight hitters in order to get things started. 
 
A runner didn’t reach scoring position against him until the seventh inning and he coaxed a pair of double plays to get out of relatively minor trouble.
 
Roberson picked up his team-leading sixth winning decision and brought his ERA down to 3.31 in 10 starts this spring.
