Baseball Hitter of the Week | Cooper Foard, Junior

Foard hit a grand slam in the bottom of the third inning in baseball's 6-4 win over Division II competitor Biola Wednesday, March 31. The hit, while his only in the game, gave the Panthers their first lead of the ballgame and a 5-1 advantage. It was just the second homer of Foard's career and his first grand slam.

Baseball Pitcher of the Week | Grant Manning, Sophomore

Grant Manning tossed two scoreless innings in his start against Biola. Manning struck out four, allowed three hits and issued no walks on the hill. He opened up the planned staff day with a solid two innings of work. The righty not only made the first start of the season, it was the first start of his young career.
