PORTLAND, Ore. - The GNAC released their weekly award winners for March 18-24 on Monday, with Northwest Nazarene's
Trevor Tishenkel receiving baseball Player of the Week honors.
Tishenkel sparked the Nighthawks to a 3-1 series win over Saint Martin's, providing steady production and key swings throughout the weekend. With two outs in the bottom of the third of the series finale, Tishenkel opened up a 4-0 lead for his team with a clutch, three-run double in the eventual 4-1 win. Tishenkel led all GNAC players last week in home runs (3) and RBIs (8), while slashing .462/.533/.1.231.
"He had some of the biggest swings of the weekend of anybody in our lineup," said NNU head coachÂ
Joe Schaefer. "His 3-run double in game four was the difference maker, and he had a couple big home runs earlier in the weekend. He has been getting hotter with each passing week, and without his performance we definitely don't get three wins."
Tishenkel and the Nighthawks will head out on the road this weekend, visiting Central Washington for four games on March 29 and 30.
