paper work

Mississippi-connected players reeled in a nice haul of conference honors based on last week’s work. Mississippi State’s Kendall Gravemen, who beat Florida with a complete game effort, was named the SEC pitcher of the week. Southern Miss’ Conor Fisk, who threw a complete game to beat Tulane, was C-USA co-pitcher of the week. Delta State’s Michael Manley, from Raymond by way of Meridian Community College, threw a complete game at Shorter to earn Gulf South pitcher of the week honors. And Darren Farmer, a former West Lauderdale High and MCC star now at Grambling State, took the SWAC hitter of the week award. Worth mentioning here also is Northeast Mississippi CC’s Will Robertson, a sophomore from Falkner who went 9-for-14 with two homers and nine RBIs last week to earn MACJC hitter of the week laurels. Robertson’s 42 RBIs entering this week ranked third in the nation in NJCAA Division II. P.S. A belated congrats to Blue Mountain College. The NAIA school, fielding a team for just the third year, beat Mississippi Valley State last week, its first win over an NCAA Division I program.
