Fogel Named NCBWA Honorable Mention Hitter of the Week

Abington, Pa. – The weekly honors continue to roll in for Penn State Abington junior Justin Fogel as he was named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Division III Honorable Mention Hitter of the Week for games played April 10-16. This is the second time this season that Fogel was selected as an Honorable Mention Hitter of the Week through the NCBWA.

This week alone, Fogel has been named the United East Conference (UEC) Player of the Week for the third time this season along with being featured on D3Baseball.com's Team of the Week for the third time as well.

Fogel had a stellar week at the plate as he batted .625 (10-for-16) to go along with 10 runs, 14 RBI, one double and six home runs. In addition, he extended his hitting streak to 21 straight games (now 22 with his 1-for-4 performance at Stockton University on Tuesday).

Fogel highlighted the week going 5-for-6 with seven runs, seven RBI and four home runs in the team's doubleheader sweep against St. Mary's College this past Saturday. The Yardley native also hit a home run in the finale the next day for his 14th homer of the season and 24th of his career.

In 30 games this season, Fogel is batting a career-high .524 which ranks second best in all of Division III. He has totaled career-highs in doubles (14), triples (2), runs (48), RBI (50) and home runs (14).

Abington resumes United East play this weekend as the Nittany Lions begin a three-game series at Gallaudet University starting on Friday, April 21 with a single game. First pitch from the Nation's Capital is set for 3 p.m.
