LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - After a four-game series sweep of Mansfield ran the team's PSAC East record to 8-0, the Millersville baseball team swept the PSAC East's weekly awards Monday with Keegan Soltis winning the athlete of the week award and Carson Kulina winning the pitcher of the week award.
These are the first PSAC East weekly awards for Soltis and Kulina. Millersville also swept the awards in week one. Soltis joins Matthew Williams as the second Marauder named PSAC East Athlete of the Week this season, and Kulina is second to win the pitcher of the week award, joining two-time winner Alex Mykut.
In the series against Mansfield, Soltis hit .800, going 8 for 10 with eight runs, seven RBIs, two doubles, two homers and five walks. Soltis posted a .867 on-base percentage and a 1.600 slugging percentage in the series. Soltis reached base at least twice in each game. On Saturday, he went 3 for 3 with four RBIs, a double and two homers in game one and then went 3 for 3 with three walks, six runs, and an RBI in game two.
Kulina pitched Millersville to a win in game one of the series by tossing a complete-game shutout. Over seven innings, Kulina allowed just three hits and issued only one walk while striking out a career-high 10 batters.
Millersville, now 18-3 overall and winners of 10 in a row, play a non-conference road game at Wilmington Wednesday before starting its division series with Kutztown on the road Friday.
