 Jacksonville
State senior outfielder Clay Whittemore
had a career-week last week, and considering the numbers
he's posted during his All-American career, that really
saying something. The Cullman, Alabama, native posted
three straight games with four hits and added three
more in the series finale to go 15-for-21 (.714 average)
for the week. He had four homeruns, four doubles,
eight RBI and rocketed his batting average 42 points
to a lofty .401 for the season. Whittemore was 6-for-7
last week with ducks on the pond and was 4-for-5 with
runners in scoring position.

2007 was a season to forget as Texas pitcher Kenn
Kasparek missed the entire year due to injury.
However last week was one to remember as the 6'10"
Texan threw 17.0 shutout innings, allowing just three
hits, one walk and hit two batters. He pitched the 20th
no-hitter in school history against the Texas State
Bobcats, facing the minimum 27 hitters for the first-time
in school history. He hit one batter in the game, but
induced a double play from the next batter. As if that
wasn't enough, he pitched eight scoreless innings on
just three hits and one walk just five days later against
Baylor. He fanned 18 batters over the two games with
nine in both games.

Mercyhurst College sophomore pitcher Steve
Grife hurled two complete game gems against
GLIAC foes Ashland and Northwood last week to help
earn the Lakers their fourth-straight winning season.
Grife worked 14 innings, surrendering just one run
and walking only a single batter while striking out
17. Against the Ashland Ealges, the Sheffield Lake,
Ohio native allowed one run on five hits and struck
out five. Just three days later he was dominant once
again against the Northwood Timberwolves, as he didn't
allow a single walk or a run and struck out a career-high
12 to help the Lakers to a 1-0 victory.
