University of the Cumberlands Athletics

Caden Petrey earned athlete of the week honors after hitting .500 on the week with 10 RBI, three homers, and seven runs scored.  The freshman opened the week going 3-3 with three RBI, four runs scored, and two walks in the double header against Cincinnati-Clermont.  His homer was a solo shot in the third inning of game two to extend the lead to 8-3.  Petrey followed it up with a two-run shot in the seventh inning against Lindsey Wilson to cut the deficit to 5-3 in game one of the series.  The Williamsburg, KY native capped off his week with a grand slam in the top of the fifth inning and closed out the day with a career-high five RBI in UC’s 10-8 win over the Blue Raiders to clinch the series for Cumberlands.  That grand slam broke open a 4-4 tie as Petrey closed out the week slugging 1.214.
