ST. JOSEPH – An unbelievable offensive weekend by the Missouri Western baseball team has garnered individual honors for one Griffon.

David Glaude became the first Griffon to be named MIAA Hitter of the Week. Glaude batted .571, slugged 1.500 and reached base at a .714 clip. The senior infielder was 8-14 at the plate with a team-high nine runs scored and 10 RBIs. He hit three of the team’s 14 home runs on the weekend and added two doubles and a triple. In the field, Glaude committed just one error in four starts while recording seven putouts and 13 assists.

The Griffons went 3-1, sweeping a three-game series at Central Oklahoma that saw the team score 54 runs and hit 13 home runs. Glaude was one of three Griffons to bat over .500 last week (Kody Matthews-.533; Brandon Donws-.500). Two others were under .500, but over .430 (Landon Mason-.467; Jeremy Alvarado-.438).

It’s the second week in a row a Griffon has taken an MIAA weekly honor. Richard Peoples was named MIAA Co-Pitcher of the week last week. Missouri Western travels to Northwest Missouri State for a single game, Wednesday at 2 p.m.
