Coyotes Garner Both Baseball Weekly Awards
PORTLAND, Ore. – The College of Idaho’s Jake Bottari and Brad Carlsen have been named Cascade Collegiate Conference Baseball Pitcher and Player of the Week, respectively, the league office announced Monday.

In his three appearances last week, Bottari threw 6 2/3 innings, giving up just a single unearned run and three hits, while striking out four and walking one. Bottari’s lone decision was a save in a 7-5 win against Simpson.
Carlsen, the ‘Yotes second baseman, hit .389 in the College of Idaho’s five game last week, going 7-for-18 from the plate. Carlsen had at least one hit in every game, collecting a double, an RBI and two stolen bases. The 6-0 junior from Reno, Nev. helped the Coyotes stay one-half game behind Concordia for the CCC lead. Carlsen was also named NAIA Region I Player of the Week.
