Coker's Meyer Named Conference Pitcher of the Week
Senior Dan Meyer was named conference pitcher of the week today.
HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Coker College baseball player Dan Meyer has been named the Conference Carolinas pitcher of the week, the league announced today.
Meyer, a left-handed pitcher, tossed a four-hit, complete-game shutout against Erskine College last week. He scattered four hits while striking out seven to earn his fifth win. The victory locked up the No. 2 seed for the Cobras in the conference tournament. Meyer also appeared in a win over St. Andrews, throwing one scoreless inning.
For the season, Meyer is 5-3 with a 3.42 ERA. He has 64 strikeouts – good for fourth-best in the conference – over a team-high 76 1-3 innings.
A senior from Seaford, N.Y., Meyer is a physical education and sport studies major with a concentration in exercise science. He is the son of Carl and Eileen Meyer.
Meyer is the fifth member of the baseball team to receive a weekly award from the conference. Fico Kondla (three times), Andrew Goot (twice), Zach Loraine and Tyler Witzel have each earned an honor this season.
Coker went 2-1 last week, taking a win each from St. Andrews and Erskine. The Cobras finished the regular season at 29-13 overall with a 14-9 record in conference play. They earned the No. 2 seed in the upcoming conference tournament and play Pfeiffer University at 3 p.m. Thursday in Burlington, N.C.
