03.21.2011 | Baseball
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (www.BigSouthSports.com) – UNC Asheville junior Ryan Dull (Winston-Salem, N.C.) has been named the Big South Conference's The Crons Brand Pitcher of the Week and Presbyterian College freshman 1B/C Brad Zebedis (Rock Hill, S.C.) has been named the Choice Hotels Baseball Player of the Week for games played March 14-20, it was announced today by the League office.
Dull led UNC Asheville to a Big South series-opening win over Gardner-Webb last Friday that ended the Runnin' Bulldogs' nine-game win streak in the process. He held the League's top-hitting team to just three hits in seven innings of work, and fanned nine while walking two in earning the victory. Gardner-Webb managed a .130 batting average against Dull and did not score against the righthander. Dull's line last week: 1-0, 0.00 ERA, 7 IP, 3 H, 0 R/ER, 2 BB, 9 SO, .130 opponents' batting average.
Zebedis batted .444 (8-18) in four games last week, helping the Blue Hose to a 3-1 record – including a 4-3 win over nationally-ranked Clemson. He had two hits in each contest in addition to two doubles and one home run. Zebedis opened his week with a 2-5 day and two doubles against Clemson. His two-out, RBI-single in the second inning gave PC an early 1-0 lead over the Tigers. On Friday against High Point, Zebedis knocked in two runs with his Big South-leading sixth home run of the season that sealed the Blue Hose's 4-1 series-opening win. He then singled twice and scored a run on Saturday against the Panthers, and finished the series with a 2-4 effort on Sunday. For the week, Zebedis slugged .722, had a .444 on-base percentage, scored three times and knocked in three runs.
Other Player of the Week Nominees: Jaren Sustar (Charleston Southern), Mike Mercurio (High Point), Michael Robertson (Liberty) and Tyler Cook (Winthrop).
Other Pitcher of the Week Nominees: Stew Brase (Charleston Southern), Josh Conway (Coastal Carolina), Spencer Andrews (High Point), Keegan Linza (Liberty) and Buck Mosteller (Presbyterian College).
