SHUMAKER NAMED TO D3 TEAM OF THE WEEK

JACKSON, MS- Majors infielder/pitcher Keith Shumaker has been named to the D3Baseball dot com Team of the Week. 

Shumaker excelled on both the mound and at the plate last week and helped the Majors to a 6-0 week and a jump in the national rankings to #21 in the D3baseball.com poll and #16 in the ABCA coaches' poll. 

The senior extended his hitting streak to 13 games, including three three-hit games this past week. Shumaker hit .500 (12-for-24) and reached base 17 times in 29 plate appearances (.586). He drove in six runs and scored 11. Five of his 12 hits went for extra bases. Shumaker ran his run scored total to 32, which stands tied for fourth in Division-III through this past weekend's games. 

On the mound, Shumaker threw a complete game shutout in game two on Saturday against the Centre Colonels. The righty allowed just four hits over the seven innings and struck out one. He ran his record to a perfect 6-0 and dropped his earned run average to 1.37. 

Shumaker and the Majors will host the Birmingham Southern Panthers this weekend for a key conference series. The teams will play one game on Friday and a twin bill on Saturday. Game time for Friday is currently up in the air due to the forecast. Saturday's double header will start at noon.
