GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Louisville junior first baseman Logan Wyatt is the Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Player of the Week, while Notre Dame sophomore left-hander Tommy Vail has been named the ACC Pitcher of the Week after each played a key role in securing ACC series wins.
ACC baseball weekly honors are determined by a vote of a media panel and are announced each Monday throughout the regular season.
Wyatt hit .550 in a 3-1 week for the Cardinals, which included a win over rival Kentucky and a series win against Miami to remain atop the Atlantic Division standings. The Louisville, Kentucky, native homered three times in the weekend series against the Hurricanes. He also had multiple hits in all four games, including a 4-for-6 day with two home runs in game two of the weekend.
For the week, Wyatt finished 11-for-20 with three home runs, three doubles, 12 RBI and nine runs scored.
Notre Dame’s Vail made three appearances for the Fighting Irish during the week, allowing just one hit in 7.2 innings pitched. He struck out 11 batters on the week, including six in a career-high five innings against Northwestern to earn the win.
The Seattle, Washington, native threw 1.2 innings of relief to clinch the series and earn his third save of the season against Pitt.
The selections mark the first weekly honor of the season for both players.
