3/16/2015 12:31:00 PM | Baseball
TROY, Alabama – Troy junior pitcher Grant Bennett has been named Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week as announced by the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper on Monday.
Â
Bennett struck out 14 batters en route to a 6-1 win over Georgia Southern on Saturday. He took a perfect game in the eighth inning before giving up four hits over the final two frames. He didn't walk a batter as he became the first Trojan to fan 14 batters in a game since Mike Felix against New Orleans in 2006.
Â
The selection marks the fifth consecutive year that a Troy Trojan has been selected as a Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week (Logan Pierce 2011, Tyler Vaughn 2012, Danny Collins 2013, Jo-El Bennett 2014).
Â
Bennett and the Trojans will host UALR in a three-game Sun Belt Conference series beginning Friday at 6 p.m.
