Canton, NY – Senior
Kayden Guerin and junior
Lance Phillips Jr., both members of the SUNY Canton baseball team, have been named this week's Roos of the Week.
Guerin tossed a gem allowing just a single run over eight innings with seven strikeouts and no walks to help the Roos earn their first ever SUNYAC win, a 10-1 victory at Fredonia in their opening game of a three-game set on Saturday. The eight innings pitched and seven strikeouts were both season-highs, while it was the second time in six appearances he did not walk a batter. Guerin leads the Roos with 33.1 innings pitched this season, nearly 14 more than any other pitcher on the Roos staff.
Phillips Jr. hit a sizzling .636 (7-for-11) and drew three walks for a .714 on-base % leading the Roos to a 2-1 week at Fredonia in conference play last week. He finished the week with two doubles, three runs, a stolen base and drove in two runs. Phillips Jr. sits third on the team this season in batting average (.333), hits (20) and doubles (6).
