LATHAM, N.Y. - Penn State Harrisburg players Kevin Lehner and Fisher Druck have swept the United East Baseball Weekly Awards. Lehner was named the United East Player of the Week, while Druck earned conference pitcher of the week recognition. 

 

Lehner and Druck join teammates Dallas Hite, Maddux Ryan, Danny Eden, and Hunter Merritt as Penn State Harrisburg players to earn the conference's weekly accolade this season. 

 

Lehner had a massive week at the plate. The junior outfielder hit two home runs and added a double in a win over Susquehanna on Tuesday afternoon and added another blast in the final victory of the weekend over Gallaudet on Sunday. In four games last week, the Tyrone, Pa. native slashed .600/.667/1.333 with a stellar OPS of 2.000 and racked up 20 total bases, three home runs, two doubles, two walks, eight runs, and seven RBI. 

 

Druck turned in one of the best outings of his young career in a victory over Gallaudet on Saturday afternoon. The freshman earned the win on the mound after throwing six scoreless innings and allowing just two hits to go along with a career-high seven strikeouts. The Lancaster, Pa. native held Bison hitters to a .100 batting average and recorded three 1-2-3 innings.  

 

The Lions (18-5, 9-0 United East) are riding an 11-game win streak and will head to St. Mary's (Md.) for a weekend series beginning on Friday afternoon, April 7.
