Knights Sweep RRAC Weekly Awards

WACO, Texas -- Matt Ginn of the University of Texas-Brownsville and Jeff Sakowski of Northwood University (Texas) were tabbed as the Red River Athletic Conference Baseball Co-Players of the Week for Feb. 22-28, while Northwood's Trent Montgomery garnered the pitcher of the week award for the same dates.

Sakowski, a senior outfielder from Arlington, Texas, followed up last week's player of the week award with another noteworthy effort in a three-game sweep of Oklahoma Wesleyan University. He was 6-for-9 batting with four doubles and four RBIs in the series with a pair of hits in each game. Sakowski drove in two runs to open the series as Northwood won, 5-2, and he provided the difference with an RBI in a 2-1 win to close it out. The Knights improved to 13-5 overall.

Montgomery, a junior right-hander from Athens, Texas, earned the win in Northwood's 5-2 win over OWU. He tossed a complete-game five-hitter while allowing just one earned run and a walk. Montgomery recorded six strikeouts.
