McKenna Receives AD3I Baseball Player of the Week Honors
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Thomas McKenna (Bellerose, NY/St. Francis Prep) has been tabbed the Association of Division III Independents (AD3I) Baseball Player of the Week after leading the St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) baseball team in hitting over the past week.
McKenna went 3-for-7 over the three-game stretch with an RBI, run scored, two stolen bases and three walks. The shortstop's best game of the week came in the nightcap of a doubleheader at Centenary where he went 2-for-3 with a stolen base. McKenna has reached base safely in 13 straight games and leads the team with a .386 batting average and .441 on base percentage.
The AD3I Player of the Week honor is the first earned by McKenna this season and second of his career. The sophomore was named USCAA Player of the Week earlier this season and was an AD3I First Team All-Independent selection a year ago. The AD3I weekly honor is the fifth earned by a Bear this season.
St. Joseph's (13-8) returns to action today as they host John Jay at Padavan-Preller Field with first pitch set for 4 p.m.
