UH Bauer WAC Pitcher of the Week
University of Hawai‘i right-handed pitcher Ricky Bauer and Rice infielder Adam Morris have been named the Western Athletic Conference Baseball Player and Pitcher of the Week.
Bauer, a junior from Kaneohe (Mid Pacific Institute) pitched eight innings, allowing one unearned run and six hits while striking out four and walking non in a 14-6 win over Florida International Friday. Bauer faced the minimum for the first six innings and has not allowed an earned run in his last 15 innings.
It is Bauer’s first career WAC Pitcher of the Week award.
Morris, a junior from Conroe, Texas hit .500 (4-8), drove in a team-high five runs and scored twice as Rice won two of its three games last week. Three of his four hits went for extra bases as he had a triple, a double, and a grand slam, the latter two coming against Kansas State on Sunday. Morris had a .556 on-base percentage and a 1.125 slugging percentage for the week.
It is Morris’ first career WAC Player of the Week award.
