GREENVILLE, S.C. - Christian Jayne of UNC Pembroke and Ethan Wilson of Belmont Abbey have been named the weekly award winners for Conference Carolinas baseball for the week ending Feb. 12, 2023.
Jayne was selected as the Player of the Week, while Wilson garnered Pitcher of the Week accolades.
A redshirt senior from Fayetteville, North Carolina, Jayne put up video game numbers in UNC Pembroke’s three-game sweep of UVA Wise. Jayne posted a .706 (12-for-17) batting average, as well as a .762 on-base percentage and a 1.471 slugging percentage (2.233 OPS) to help keep UNC Pembroke undefeated on the young season at 2-0. He recorded at least two extra-base hits and at least 3 RBIs in each of his three starts. Jayne also tallied two home runs in game one, a home run and two doubles in game two and two doubles in the series finale. He ended the series with 11 RBIs and 10 runs scored to go along with seven extra-base hits (four doubles and three home runs). Jayne also had five stolen bases. Jayne leads Conference Carolinas with five doubles. He is second in slugging (1.000) and third in batting average on the season at .533.
A sophomore right-handed pitcher from Waxhaw, North Carolina, Wilson put together a pair of quality relief appearances for Belmont Abbey baseball in wins at Limestone and Trevecca Nazarene. Wilson sealed the game in the ninth inning against the Saints and put together a strong appearance against the Trojans. Two of the three outs of the game against Limestone were recorded via strikeout. Down 4-0 when he entered the game in the top of the third inning, Wilson held Trevecca Nazarene to just four hits and only gave up one walk while recording 10 strikeouts. His effort on the mound allowed Belmont Abbey to rally in the second game of a doubleheader and eventually earn a 5-4 victory in seven innings. The 10 strikeouts were a career-best for Wilson as was the five innings in relief. Wilson leads Conference Carolinas with 19 strikeouts so far this season.
