Sprock was a key contributor for the Phoenix last week both at the plate and on the mound. The junior was 7-for-14 (.500) at the plate in four games last week, earning four RBI, two home runs, two walks, one triple and scoring six runs. He made two appearances as a pitcher, going 1.1 innings in a narrow loss to No. 12 North Carolina before earning his first save of the season with one inning of perfect relief in a series finale win against Towson. Sprock struck out one batter in closing out the Tigers and helping Elon earn the series win.

National Pitcher of the Week

Lyndon Glidewell, RHP, Junior, Austin Peay, Temecula, Calif.

Glidewell was nearly perfect in his start on the mound in the first game of a doubleheader against North Alabama on Sunday. The junior right-hander earned a complete-game no-hitter in a 20-0 win over the Lions. Glidewell struck out five batters and issued only one walk on 87 pitches to lead the Governors to a road victory. He earned the win and became the sixth pitcher in school history to throw a no-hitter, the first since 1996. With the win, he improved his season mark to 5-0 with one save in nine outings. His ERA now stands at 3.12 for the season.
