Lee University’s Joel Matthews and Chris Warters both received player of the week honors in the conference’s first selection of the year.      Matthews earned the conference pitcher of the week honor after a stellar performance against No. 7 Southern Poly. The junior moved to 4-0 on the season after giving up only two hits, allowing no earned runs and striking out six against the conference rival.

     Warters was named conference player of the week after a strong display against Covenant College and in the Flames’ three game series with Southern Poly. The junior hit .533 (8-15) with eight RBIs and scored six runs. Waters hit the game winning home run in game two of the Southern Poly series and produced a slugging average of 1.267, finishing the week with three doubles, a pair of home runs and a triple.
