Scots Sweep NCAC Weekly Honors
Bhatt, Gerdenich honored by conference
The College of Wooster's Maanav Bhatt and Alex Gerdenich swept the North Coast Athletic Conference Athlete of the Week honors, as announced by the league office on Tuesday morning.
Bhatt sparked Wooster's offense in Friday's 3-1 win over Centre College, a 2024 NCAA Div. III regional runner-up. The first-year infielder went 2-for-4 with a RBI. The second baseman doubled to lead off the fifth inning and scored the game's first run. Bhatt made it 3-0 with an RBI single in the sixth inning.
Gerdenich earned the save, working the final 1 1/3 innings. He worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth inning, then set down the Colonels in order in the ninth. The right-hander struck out two.
Wooster returns to action at Covenant College (2-1) on Friday, Feb. 21. The first of the three-game weekend set is scheduled for a 2 p.m. first pitch.
