McQuain Earns GAC Weekly Honor

DURANT, Okla. – Following a weekend that saw him write his name in the record books while also helping Southeastern to four-straight wins, Blake McQuain has been named Great American Conference Player of the Week.
 
The Savage Storm opened the week with a 10-3 win over Central Oklahoma before heading into the weekend where they picked up a sweep of Southern Nazarene I conference play.
 
McQuain, a native of Shawnee, Okla., turned in a crazy week as he started all four games while hitting .600 with a 12-for-20 effort at the plate with five doubles and seven RBI while scoring nine runs.
 
He reached base 65.2 percent of the time he came to the plate and added a perfect effort in the field as icing on the cake.
 
His biggest mark of the weekend though came as he put together a 6-for-7 performance versus SNU in game two of the series, matching a Southeastern and GAC record for hits in a game while helping the Storm to a 27-14 win over the Crimson Storm.
 
McQuain and SE will be back in action when they head to Claremore, Okla., for a March 9 matchup with Rogers State.
