Future Mallard and Oshkosh, WI native Chris Roberts was named the Big Ten Player of the Week after hitting .563 (9 for 16) in a four-game series versus Ohio State last weekend. The Michigan State Freshman outfielder recorded multiple hits in all four contests that included a three-hit, five-RBI performance in the series finale on Sunday. A 27th round draft choice out of high school, Roberts leads the Spartans with a .349 batting average and .450 slugging percentage. Other former and future Mallards had notable performances over the past week and are listed below (in alphabetical order).<\/p>\n

Trevor Feeney, Jr., RHP, Northern Illinois. Feeney picked up his fifth win of the year after allowing one earned run in seven innings of work during Friday\u2019s 4-1 victory over Western Michigan. He leads the Huskies in starts (11), complete games (2), and innings pitched (79). <\/p>\n

Russell Harben, So., IF, South Alabama. Batting in the leadoff spot Tuesday, Harben had three RBI\u2019s to lead the Jaguars over the Wichita State Shockers in a 7-6 win. He also hit his second home run of the year in a contest against Florida International on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Jim Sajewich, So., RHP, Illinois State. Sajewich picked up his third win of the year after pitching five innings of two-hit ball in relief for the Redbirds. His effort lowered his ERA to 2.47.<\/p>\n

Joseph Spiers, Jr., INF, San Diego State. Spiers scored three runs and added four hits in a three-game weekend series versus UNLV. Seeing action in the leadoff spot, he is now hitting .345 and has stolen 11 bases in 13 attempts. <\/p>\n

Travis Sweet, Jr., IF\/OF, Iowa. Sweet had seven RBI\u2019s on five hits that included his seventh home run of the year in a rain shortened three-game series versus Indiana last
\nweekend. He continues to lead the Hawkeyes in batting average (.422), doubles (10), and stolen bases (20).<\/p>\n

Adam Mills, Sr., RHP, UNC-Charlotte. The 49ers lead the nation with a 2.42 ERA and Mills\u2019 right arm is huge reason why. The two-time former Mallard pitcher is second in the NCAA with a .97 ERA, third in strikeouts with 125, and is tied for fourth with 11 wins. <\/p>\n

Daniel Webb, Jr., OF, Illinois. Webb went 3 for 4 and hit his eighth double of the year in the series finale against Michigan on Sunday. He finished the four-game weekend series with a .467 average (7 for 15) and a .733 slugging percentage. <\/p>\n
