Sophomore Ryan Goetz drove
in six runs this past weekend against #5 UC Irvine.
|
(April
21, 2008) - The Big West Conference named UC Riverside first
baseman Ryan
Goetz Big West Co-Player of the Week Monday afternoon.
It
is the first career player of the week honor for Goetz who
went 6-for-14 with six RBI in this past weekend’s series
win over #5 UC Irvine. He shares the award with Long Beach
State’s Shane Peterson.
Goetz
(Temple City, CA/ Bishop Amat HS) finished the week 10-for-18
(.389) with a double, a triple, and seven RBI. In Saturday’s
5-3 win over UCI, he had two hits and two RBI both coming
on a two-run single in UCR’s three-run first inning.
Goetz followed that performance with a three-hit and three
RBI game the very next day. His RBI single in the sixth gave
UCR a 2-1 lead and he later put the Highlanders up for good
with a two-out two-run triple in the seventh.
This
is the second player of the week award for UCR who had Paul
Bargas earn pitcher of the week honors after he beat then
#9 Long Beach State earlier this season.
The
Highlanders begin a four-game home stand with Loyola Marymount
at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
