Gabriel Kirck: Baseball

The Dean Trailways Co-Male Comet of the Week is senior Gabriel Kirck, of Grosse Pointe Woods, and graduate of De La Salle High School. Kirck recorded a .364 batting average and 1.091 slugging percentage in helping the baseball team win two of three games against Trine (Ind.) University. He hit a three-run homer to help the Comets to a 4-2 win in the opener and then another three-run dinger to push Olivet past the Thunder, 4-0, in 12 innings in the middle game. In the last game of the series, Kirck had a pair of two-run doubles. Defensively, he played an errorless series, making zero errors in 40 chances at first base. Kirck’s two home runs and 10 RBI helped him break the career records for those categories.
