PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Drew Hill, Wayne State
Drew Hill (Grosse Pointe Woods, Mich. / Grosse Pointe North) was named GLIAC Player of the Week for the first time in his career on Monday afternoon. Last week, Hill helped lead 16th-ranked (NCBWA) Wayne State to an unblemished 6-0 record in Florida and an 18-2 beginning to the season, the best 18-game start in program history (since 1941). In those six Warrior wins, Hill hit .478 (11-for-23) with six runs scored, one double, three home runs, nine RBI, four walks, and one stolen base. The junior slugged .913 while getting on-base at a .556 clip for a 1.469 OPS.
PITCHER OF THE WEEK: Gavin Nash, Wayne State

Nash picked up his first pitching victory of the season (1-2 overall record) with two earned runs allowed, four hits, only one walk, and 11 strikeouts (career high) on 97 total pitches.
