BASEBALL PITCHER OF THE WEEK Northern Kentucky sophomore righthander Derrick Moeves set an NKU single-season strikeout record and tossed a complete-game shutout to go along with a save to earn Pitcher of the Week honors in the GLVC. It is the second week in a row that Moeves has earned Pitcher of the Week honors. Moeves tossed a one-hit shutout and struck out 12 batters Saturday as NKU defeated Southern Indiana, 1-0. He also set a Norse single-season record for strikeouts with 96. The previous NKU mark was 85, set by Mike Kichler in 1997. In addition, Moeves extended his streak of scoreless innings pitched to 15 straight as the Norse claimed the No. 2 seed in the GLVC Tournament. He has also not allowed an earned run in the past 28 innings and has a 1.62 earned run average this spring. Earlier in the week, Moeves pitched two innings of scoreless relief to notch his first save of the season as NKU held off Bellarmine, 4-3. For the week, Moeves was 1-0 with one save, pitched nine innings in two appearances with a 0.00 ERA, had 14 strikeouts and did not allow a walk. He is from Ft. Thomas, Ky. BASEBALL PLAYER OF THE WEEK Quincy senior second baseman Kevin Sewell hit .429 with three home runs, seven runs scored and eight RBI in leading his team to a 4-0 week to earn Player of the Week honors in the GLVC. Sewell used the eight RBI to shatter the Quincy single-season RBI record (74) and now has 85. He also broke the single-season home run record (14) last week, tying it with his 14th of the season in Saturday's second game, then breaking it with a sixth-inning blast in the first game on Sunday (No. 15). He later hit a grand slam in Sunday's second game (No. 16) to help the Hawks complete a four-game weekend sweep over Lewis. The second baseman also broke the Quincy career RBI record with that grand slam, giving him 157 for his three-year career. This is Sewell's second POW honor, as he was the winner in Week No. 1. He is from Stronghurst, Illinois.
