Chalk up another award for Bret Blevins.
Tuesday, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association named Blevins its Atlantic Region Player of the Week, one day after he earned the WVIAC Hitter of the Week award.
In five games last week, the outfielder from Owings, MD hit a sizzling .714 (15-21) and drove in 13 runs. Blevins hit three home runs and three doubles and stole three bases as the Mountain Lions swept a doubleheader from Wheeling Jesuit on March 21 and took all three games in a weekend series at Glenville State on March 24-25.
By winning the weekly Atlantic Region honor, Blevins is now eligible for the NCBWA's National Hitter of Week award.
