He also walloped a pair of home runs, while also knocking a double to the outfield wall. In the tourney's four games, he added eight runs scored, five stolen bases, four RBl's, and seven walks. Brubaker's awesome play landed him all-tournament honors. He was also named AMCC Athlete of the Week. Brubaker is only the second baseball player to earn this honor so errors that cost us," said Jacobelli. "Although it's better for those to hap pen now early in the season so we can learn from them the rest of the way," commented Jacobelli. Mandy Bodnor was the only Lion to come away with two hits, with eight other Lions pitching in one hit apiece. Beth Calhoun had the only RBI for Behrend on the game. "The first win against Frostburg was a real solid game for everybody." Bodnor was also strong on the hill, allowing three runs, only two of which were earned, while also only giving up a stingy five hits. Next up for the Lions was a matchup against AMCC Lake Erie in which the Lions won handily by scores of 14 -0, and 14 - 1. "It can be hard to stay focused in blowout games like those," said Jacobelli. "However, I thought our team did a great job concentrating through both contests. We got to try a few new things, such as a few suicide squeezes, which we will now be more confident to implement during a big game," added Jacobelli. far this year. Brubaker is having an outstanding season thus far, as his play has helped the Lions to a solid 7-4 start. "Jeremy is our type of player.
