Carney named MIAA Baseball Pitcher of the Week

HUDSONVILLE, Mich. – Sophomore Bryan Carney from The University of Olivet has been selected as the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Baseball Pitcher of the Week.

Carney needed 115 pitches to throw eight innings and pick-up the win, as the Comets defeated University of Hartford (Conn.), 9-3, at the Ripken Experience in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. He gave one earned run on six hits and three walks. Carney struck out 15 batters, which is the most by an Olivet pitcher since 2003. The only run he allowed was scored on a wild pitch in the sixth inning.

Carney and the Comets host Grace Christian University tomorrow for their home-opener, starting at 4 p.m.
