Baseball Player of the Week
Chris Grillo, Freshman, Muhlenberg
Infielder
Mount Olive, N.J. / Mount Olive
Grillo began his collegiate career with a bang, hitting .688 in four games to help the Mules to a 4-0 start. Batting out of the leadoff spot, he went 11-for-16 with 10 runs scored and stole five bases without getting caught. Grillo had at least two hits in every game and led off the top of the first by getting on base and scoring in every game. He also had three doubles and drove in a pair of runs.
Baseball Pitcher of the Week
Sam Kasten, Sophomore, Muhlenberg
Manchester, N.H. / Trinity
Kasten pitched a complete-game three-hitter against Gallaudet in his first career start. The righty, who tossed only two innings last season, took a no-hitter into the sixth and allowed only two baserunners past first base in the game. He finished off the 8-2 win with his fourth strikeout.
