• 4/19/2010: WEEK 9 news & notes here in “9-INNINGS”…
  • 1st: It was definitely a hitter’s week and Florida freshman Austin Maddox exemplified the type of numbers that were commonly seen among batters this week; Maddox’s line was 8-for-17 with 4 2B’s, 3 HR’s and 5 RBI’s, and he extended his hitting streak to 8 games; the freshman catcher did it all and, although it’s not official, Maddox should have no problem earning another SEC Freshman of the Week award and possibly SEC Player of the Week for his efforts; Maddox now leads the Gators in AVG, H, 2B, HR and RBI…
  • 2nd: Florida State junior Tyler Holt turned it up a notch this past week going 10-for-20 with 4 2B’s, 2 HR’s, 5 RBI’s and 5 SB’s (Holt Helps FSU Hammer Duke); for the year, Holt leads all FSU batters in AVG, Hits, Runs, 2B’s, HR’s, SLG% and OB% 
  • 3rd: CS Fullerton junior Christian Colon logged his first multi-HR game of the year this past week (Colon Homers Twice…) and notched 3 HR’s total over the series against UC Santa Barbara; Colon was hot, batting 6-for-13 with a 2B, 3 HR’s, 7 RBI’s; this marked the 3rd multi-HR series for Colon on the year…
  • 4th: Coastal Carolina junior Scott Woodward did it all this week; 8-for-15 with 9 Runs, a 2B, 3B, HR, 6 RBI’s and 10 SB’s (yes, ten!) while striking out only once; Woodward is completely deaf in his left ear and severely impaired in the right, a disability he credits for improving his game (Woodward has a Feel for the Game);  his athletic ability is anything but impaired and this prototypical leadoff hitter will be taking his game to the next level come June… 
  • 5th: The Citadel junior Asher Wojciechowski tossed his 3rd complete game in a gem this past Friday (Wojo K’s 12); known by some as “Woz” and others as “Wojo”, he definitely had the magic as he went the distance, striking out 12 versus 3 walks, allowing only 1 earned run on 6 hits over the 9 frames;
  • 6th: Mississippi junior Drew Pomeranz pitched 7 scoreless innings, giving up only 2 hits and fanning 10 batters but he still wound up with a no-decision! This was the fourth time on the year that Pomz reached double-digit K’s and just missing with 9 K’s twice; on the year, he’s logged 90 K’s in 58 IP; Baseball America projected Pomeranz to exit the draft board at 1.6 and tabbed him as the nations #4 college prospect; Pomz recently chatted with SEC writers about his current success (SEC Q&A with Pomeranz)…
  • 7th: Southern Nevada freshman phenom Bryce Harper was hot-and-cold this past week; his Coyotes played a highly anticipated double-header on Friday and another on Saturday (The “Chosen One” Comes to Carson); in Friday’s games, Harper was 0-for7 with a R, BB and 2 K’s; a fan at the game notes that after grounding out in the second game, Harper punched a water-cooler in the dugout, illustrating his frustration with his poor performance at the plate; Saturday’s games saw a determined Harper go 3-for-7 with 3 Runs, 2 HR’s, 4 RBI’s and 1 K; Harper now sits on 17 HR’s on the year and the Coyotes have 6 games left in the regular season…
  • 8th: UNC-Wilmington senior Seth Frankoff is thriving in a relief role; the past two seasons, Frankoff started, after a freshman campaign where he mostly pitched relief peppered with a handful of starts; the transition started a bit rocky as he had a run of games during weeks 5-7 that saw him suffer some big innings; but he’s been “lights-out” for the past two weeks, allowing no runs in 5 appearances, and fanning 9 over 7 innings; this past week he combined on a shutout (Diamond Hawks Shutout Dukes)…
  • 9th: Coastal Carolina junior Cody Wheeler pitched a complete game this past Friday (Wheeler with Complete Game), his first since tossing a complete game shutout last season; over 9 innings, Wheeler allowed 2 runs on 5 hits while fanning 7 and walking 2 to stay a perfect 6-0 on the year…
  • Extra Innings: Arizona State sophomore Jordan Swagerty, 2 Saves; LSU junior Micah Gibbs 8-for-18; Miami junior Yasmani Grandal 7-for-15, 2 2B, HR, 9 RBI; Auburn junior Hunter Morris 3 HR’s (SEC Q&A with Morris); San Diego junior Victor Sanchez 3 HR’s;  Pepperdine freshman Zach Vincej 10-for-23, 2 2B’s
• That’s it for this week!
