MCC Baseball Earns Another POTW Honor

From School Reports

The Meridian Community College baseball team has once again earned another honor to begin the 2016 season and this time one of its pitchers has received special recognition. Sophomore pitcher Hunter Mullis was named the recipient of MACJC Pitcher of the Week on Tuesday afternoon by voting members of the conference. This marks the second straight week that a member of the MCC baseball team has been recognized by the MACJC. Sophomore shortstop Jaylon Keys was named the MACJC Player of the Week in the opening week of the season for the Eagles after helping his team to a sweep over Bishop State Community College to begin the year.  

Mullis tossed a complete game back on Thursday to help MCC defeat Wallace-Selma by a final score of 6-4. Mullis pitched seven innings with four runs allowed (two earned) with five hits, 13 strikeouts, and one walk against Wallace-Selma.

Mullis is a native Columbus, MS and played his high school baseball at Columbus High School. MCC (5-1) will return to action on Saturday against Jeff Davis for a scheduled doubleheader at Scaggs Field which is slated for 1 p.m.
