NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Trevecca senior second baseman Joey Parliment had a great week at the plate, earning this week’s Tennessee Sports Writers Association College Baseball Player of the Week honor on Tuesday.
Parliment, a Gordonsville native, batted .643 on the week with six runs scored, eight RBI and three home runs as the Trojans took two of three from Union, winning the final two games of the series. He went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a home run, then had a pair of three RBI games as he went 4-for-4 with four runs scored and a round-tripper in game two, then 3-for-5 in the finale with another home run.
His ninth hit of the series also included a walk-off single in the bottom of the 11th inning in the finale to clinch the series victory.
On the hill, Tennessee junior righty Marcus Phillips was the Pitcher of the Week as he picked up a complete-game shutout victory over Florida in his first career Southeastern Conference start.
The junior from Sioux Falls, S.D., yielded five hits but no one came home to score as he walked one and struck out seven. The seven innings worked bested his previous high of 5 2/3. The complete-game shutout was the first for the Vols since Drew Beam did that against Vanderbilt on April 3, 2022.
SOFTBALL: Union senior Morgan Jennings was the Player of the Week. Leading the team to a series win over Trevecca, Jennings batted .538 with seven hits, scoring three runs and driving in another with two walks and stealing one base.
In the circle, Trevecca senior pitcher Ashlan Sensing was the Pitcher of the Week, going the distance against Union as she threw seven scoreless innings, holding them to just two hits. The Dickson, Tenn., native struck out seven in the victory as she improved to 12-4 on the season.
