Shreveport - The Centenary baseball team has been selected as Centenary Athletics' "Team of the Week" after the Diamond Gents went 4-1 last week capped off by a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference series sweep over the Austin College 'Roos on Sunday at home.
The Diamond Gents (9-9, 4-1 SCAC) won 11-3 on Sunday following a doubleheader sweep on Saturday, winning 3-2 in game one and 10-4 in game two over the 'Roos. Centenary has now won 12 games in a row over Austin College and leads the all-time series, 36-2.
Centenary opened its conference schedule by splitting a doubleheader with the University of Dallas Crusaders last Monday, winning game one 8-0 and falling 6-3 in game two in Irving, Texas.
Sophomore LHP Cody Myers (Friendswood, Texas) had a sensational week for the Diamond Gents as he went 2-0 in two appearances, both starts, as he allowed just one earned run in 14.1 IP with three walks and 16 strikeouts. He started in game one of Centenary's DH at Dallas on Monday and was superb as he went seven innings and allowed just two hits with a season and career-high 13 strikeouts. He was appropriately named the SCAC Baseball Pitcher of the Week on Monday.
Myers' 13 K's are tied for the second-most in a single game in the division III era (2012-present) in program history. He faced 25 batters and threw 134 pitches with 81 for strikes. He picked up the win in Centenary's 3-2 win over Austin College on Saturday as he allowed just one earned run in 7.1 IP and one walk with three K's. Myers is 5-1 with a 1.04 ERA this season.
The Diamond Gents will hit the road for a SCAC series against Schreiner University this weekend in Kerrville, Texas. Game one of the series is set for Thursday at 2 p.m. followed by a DH on Friday at Noon and 3 p.m.
