Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted February 20, 2023 EUGENE, Ore. – After leading Oregon to a four-game series sweep of Xavier, Josiah Cromwick has been named one of Collegiate Baseball’s National Players of the Week. Cromwick (Las Vegas, Nev./Palo Verde HS) is just the third Ducks’ hitter all time to earn a Collegiate Baseball Hitter of the Week honor. He accounted for much of Oregon’s offense in the three games he caught over the weekend. He slashed batted .444 (4-of-9) with three home runs, a double, six RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base while reaching base at a .500 clip and slugging an impressive 1.556. After doubling in Friday’s 3-2 win, Cromwick hit a pair of home runs and matched a career-high with five RBI in Oregon’s 9-2 (7-inning) win in the first game of a Saturday doubleheader. Cromwick put the Ducks on top in the first inning with a 3-run blast before adding a 2-run homer in the third. After sitting out the second game of the doubleheader, Cromwick returned to the lineup for Sunday’s finale and hit his third home run of the series. With Oregon trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the seventh, Cromwick led off the inning with a solo home run to tie the game. Oregon would add two runs in the eighth to clinch a series sweep.
