BURNSVILLE, MN – An explosive hitting performance by University of Mary outfielder Isaac Pegors earned the Bismarck, ND, native National College Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) NCAA Division II Central Region Baseball Player of the Week accolades.
 
Also the Northern Sun Player of the Week for his efforts, Pegors blasted home runs in all four Marauders wins during the week and had both a hit and scored a run in all five games.
 
Over the course of the five home games, the Legacy High School product went 8-for-16 at the plate with a double and four home runs. He scored nine runs, delivered 11 RBIs and posted a line of .500/.619/1.313 and an OPS of 1.932. He also walked four times and didn't strike out.
 
In a doubleheader sweep of the University of Minnesota Crookston, Pegors homered, scored twice and drove in two runs in both games. In a 14-4 win over the University of Minnesota Duluth, the right fielder was 4-for-4 with a double, a home run, three runs scored and four RBIs. He also walked twice. In the series finale, Pegors blasted a 3-run home run in a 7-5 win over the Bulldogs.
 
This is the second time the All-American has earned regional player of the week honors from NCBWA in his UMary career and the first time this season.
 
Currently in the midst of a 12-game hitting streak, the longest of his career, Pegors is hitting .342/.443/.664 for a 1.107 OPS with a team-best 13 home runs, 51 RBIs and 40 runs scored in 40 games. He is second in the NSIC in RBIs and third in RBIs.
 
The Marauders are 27-15 overall this season and 20-9 in the NSIC for third place. UMary next hosts Concordia-St. Paul on Saturday and Sunday, April 25-26. Saturday's Senior Day doubleheader begins at 1:30 pm. Sunday's single game is a 12 noon start.
