Will Hardee of Francis Marion and Branden Kunz of UNC Pembroke Collect Baseball Weekly Honors
GREENVILLE, S.C. - Will Hardee of Francis Marion and Branden Kunz of UNC Pembroke have collected the weekly honors for Conference Carolinas baseball for the week ending Feb. 19, 2023.
Hardee was tabbed as the Player of the Week, while Kunz garnered Pitcher of the Week accolades.
A fifth-year student-athlete from Evergreen, South Carolina, Hardee hit .409 (9-for-22) in six games last week for Francis Marion. Hardee finished his week with nine RBIs and three runs scored. He collected multi-hit games three times over the course of the week. Hardee owned an on-base percentage of .480 and a slugging percentage of .455.
A redshirt senior right-handed pitcher from Wake Forest, North Carolina, Kunz (2-0) was absolutely dominant in his outing in No. 13 UNC Pembroke’s league sweep of No. 14 Belmont Abbey. Kunz struck out 14 and allowed just two hits in UNC Pembroke’s 12-0 second game win over Belmont Abbey. He did not walk anyone in the complete-game victory and he retired the side in order in three different frames.
