SCAC selects Centre's Moore for weekly baseball honor
Following a week which saw the Centre College baseball team win its first four Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference games, senior first baseman Eric Moore (Bowling Green, Ky.) has been selected as the SCAC Offensive Baseball Player-of-the-Week for games played Monday, March 19 through Sunday, March 25. 
Moore hit .474 (9-19) on the week in helping the Colonels go 4-2, including an SCAC four-game sweep over Oglethorpe.
Along with hitting .474, Moore drove in 11 runs, scored five more, walked three times, was hit by a pitch twice and had two sacrifice bunts and two sacrifice flies. He also had two doubles and his first home run of the season (a three-run shot in Centre's 11-4 win over Oglethorpe on Saturday) and did not make an error in 49 chances.
The senior first baseman posted a .737 slugging percentage and a .538 on-base percentage to help Centre complete it's second four-game conference sweep in the last three years.
Moore is currently hitting .446 on the season (second in the SCAC) with 23 RBIs (10th in the SCAC) to lead Centre in both categories.
He is the third Centre player to be honored by the SCAC this year. Junior pitcher John Herbert (Louisville, Ky.) and freshman pitcher Justin Basham (Bowling Green, Ky.) have each earned SCAC Pitcher-of-the-Week honors earlier this year.
Centre is currently 10-9 overall and 4-0 in the SCAC and will return to action Friday, March 30 to play Rhodes College. The single nine-inning game is the first of the weekend four-game series and is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. in Danville, Ky. |
