GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Florida State sophomore rightfielder Robby Martin has been selected ACC Baseball Player of the Week, while Louisville junior left-hander Michael Kirian earned ACC Pitcher of the Week honors.
ACC baseball weekly awards are determined by a vote of a select media panel and announced on Mondays throughout the regular season.
Martin hit .550 and slugged 1.150 for the week with three home runs, three doubles and 12 RBI as Florida State swept four games versus top-10 in-state rivals Florida and Miami. In addition to going 11-for-20 at the plate, Martin scored nine runs.
Martin homered twice and drove in five runs in last Tuesday night’s win over the fifth-ranked Gators. In the Seminoles’ ACC series road sweep at Miami, the Tampa, Florida, native was 8-for-15 with three doubles and a home run as FSU outscored the Hurricanes by a combined 34-2 in the three games.
Louisville’s Kirian took a no-hitter into the eighth inning of Friday night’s 13-1 win at NC State, finishing with one run allowed on two hits in 7.1 innings with a career-best 13 strikeouts.
Kirian, of New Riegel, Ohio, retired the first 11 batters he faced and did not allow an extra-base hit, as he remained unbeaten on the mound this season with his fourth victory.
