Corban Sweeps Baseball Player of Week Honors
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Pitcher Jason Braun and third baseman Nate Hiebert of Corban College have been named the Cascade Collegiate Conference Pitcher and Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday.
Braun, a 6-5 junior from Dallas, Ore., pitched a complete-game two-hit shutout against the Hustlin' Owls of Oregon Tech on Saturday. His effort included 15 groundball outs. The right-handed pitcher blanked OIT on seven hits while striking out five. In eight innings of work in two appearances last week, Braun yielded just five hits and no earned runs.
Hiebert, a 5-11 freshman from Lebanon, Ore., helped the Warriors to three victories, rapping out nine hits in 15 at-bats. He scored two runs and drove in two runs. He also pitched a perfect seventh inning in an 11-4 non-conference win over Pacific.
