The Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference (C2C) has announced its weekly awards following the fifth week of the 2023 baseball season. Christopher Newport's Alec Reilly was named C2C Player of the Week, while Mary Washington's Jackson Myers earned C2C Pitcher of the Week honors. 

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Alec Reilly, Christopher Newport

Senior Alec Reilly reached base in all four of Christopher Newport's games this week while recording hits in three out of the four. He hit .417 with two extra-base hits and drove in a team-high eight runs while scoring twice. His on-base percentage was .500 in 18 plate appearances with five hits and four walks and he added a pair of sacrifice flies. Against Marymount, Reilly drove in six in his first two plate appearances with a bases-clearing double in the first and a three-run homer in the third.

PITCHER OF THE WEEK: Jackson Myers, Mary Washington

Freshman Jackson Myers made two key starts for Mary Washington this week, and both ended with Eagles wins. On Monday, Myers allowed three earned runs in 6.2 innings against defending national champion Eastern Connecticut State, with no walks and two strikeouts, in a game the Eagles rallied to win in the eighth inning, snapping ECSU's 24-game win streak. On Sunday, Myers started the rubber match in UMW's three-game series with John Carroll and gained the win by pitching a no hitter into the eighth, allowing just one walk and a double in eight innings with 13 strikeouts in a 10-3 Eagle win. For the week, Myers sported a 1.84 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 14.2 innings.
