Weekly Recap - May 17 - 23

As we approach the final full week in May, we have officially wrapped up all of the home events for the year, with only two programs still competing. Baseball ended their season this weekend, while golfer Kelvin Day had an outstanding showing and a top-25 finish in the NCAA Southeast Regional.

Brantley Meier earned CSU Athlete of the Week honors, finishing the year fourth in the Big South with a school-record 84 hits. In his final week of action, Meier hit .389 with seven hits to overtake the record, set in 2006 by Justin Fyle.

He scored two runs and had a double this week, knocking in three RBI. He had a 1.00 fielding percentage for the week, a .455 on base percentage and was a perfect 4-for-4 on stolen base attempts for the week. He ends the season on a career-best 10 game hitting streak.

Kelvin Day also earned consideration for the honor this week.

Baseball vs. UNC Wilmington – L, 6-5
The baseball team added a midweek game against UNC Wilmington, and for the second time this year, fell by a run to the Seahawks. The Bucs made it interesting, though, as they rallied from a 6-1 deficit in the seventh inning to get within a run. Kyle Ward and Corey Deighan pitching a combined 3.1 innings of scoreless relief to finish the game and give CSU a chance.

Baseball vs. High Point L, 15-7, 10-8, 16-11
It was perhaps one of the strangest series of the year, with CSU needing a sweep over the Panthers, who were battling for a fourth-place finish, in order to qualify for postseason play. The sweep came, but certainly not how the Bucs wanted it, falling in a 13-inning affair in game two, and a rain-delayed and lightning-shortened game three. Meier took advantage of the series to break the school record for hits (84), and will look to improve that mark next season. He ends the season on a 10-game hitting streak that will carry over to next year.

Kelvin Day @ NCAA East Region
The lone participant from CSU, Kelvin Day shot a combined 214 (+4) to place 21st overall at the NCAA Division I Southeast Regional at the Capital City Club. By earning a bid to the tournament, he became the first Buccaneer to do so since Shawn Hall went in 2006. Hall went on to finish 52nd in the tournament. Day moved to as high as 12th overall after shooting an even par on day two, but a two-over in the final round moved him to 21st.
