Two Saints earn weekly honors
February 25, 2008
Lacey, WA – Saint Martin’s pitcher Andrew Neisinger
was named as the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Pitcher-of-the-Week
while men’s basketball guard Jake Linton received honorable mention.
Neisinger didn’t allow a run in two relief
appearances in which he threw 6 1/3 innings as the Saints split four
games at the Guardian Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning Tournament.
He pitched the final five innings against Montana State Billings,
allowing just two hits and no runs as the Saints rallied from a 4-0
deficit to defeat the Yellowjackets 8-4. In the two contests he
surrendered just four hits and struck out three without giving up a
walk.
Linton scored 50 points as the Saints split two
games, including tying a GNAC season high with 33 points in a home win
over Seattle Pacific. He went 15 of 36 from the field, converting on
nine of 19 treys. He also added 13 assists and six rebounds in the two
contests. He leads the GNAC with four 30 point games this season.
