Utah's Cody Guymon, TCU's Greg Holle and UNLV's Corey Hales Named MWC Baseball Player and Co-Pitchers of the Week
March 10, 2008 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Utah junior catcher Cody Guymon has been named Mountain West Conference Player of the Week, while TCU's Greg Holle and UNLV's Corey Hales have been named MWC Co-Pitchers of the Week. Guymon, a Livermore, Calif., product, hit .667 (8-for-12) on the week, with three doubles, three RBI and six runs scored, helping the Utes to a three-game series sweep over Southern Utah. Guymon also turned in a .917 slugging percentage and .733 on-base percentage (.733) vs. the Thunderbirds, while extending his hitting streak to 10 games. In the opening game of the series, he went 4-for-5, with two doubles, four runs scored and one RBI. In game two, Guymon went 2-for-4, with a walk, and followed with a 2-for-3, two-RBI performance in the final game, also scoring two runs. Holle, from Loudonville, N.Y., earned his first collegiate victory in the Horned Frogs 2-1 win over No. 2 Mississippi Sunday afternoon. The win helped the Frogs clinch the series against the highest ranked opponent under Head Coach Jim Schlossnagle. Holle notched career-highs in innings pitched (6.2) and strikeouts (five), while holding Ole Miss, who came into the game averaging 11 runs per game, to just one unearned run. He did not allow more than one hit in an inning, while leaving nine Rebel runners stranded on base in his first five innings on the mound.
Hales, an Aztec, N.M., native, tossed a two-hit complete game against San Francisco last Saturday in the Rebels' 6-1 win. He struck out six and walked just two batters on the way to the victory. Hales gave up a single to the second batter he faced, before retiring 21 of the next 22 hitters in cruising to the complete-game win. Hales gave up a single in the top of the eighth for the other hit allowed, and he faced just four batters over the minimum in pitching the first complete game for the Rebels since May 2007.
