MORAVIAN'S PETE MOORE & TREVOR LAWRENCE NAMED COMMONWEALTH CONFERENCE BASEBALL
PLAYER & PITCHER OF THE WEEK

ANNVILLE, PA --- Senior shortstop Pete Moore (Bogota, NJ/Bogota HS) and junior pitcher Trevor Lawrence (Lansford, PA/Marian Catholic HS) of the Moravian College baseball team has been named the Commonwealth Conference Baseball Player and Pitcher of the Week for their performances last week.

The duo helped Moravian to a 5-1 record last week including a three-game Commonwealth Conference series sweep of Messiah College. The Greyhounds won the first four games of the week for their second four-game winning streak of the season.

Moore, pictured at right, hit .476 last week with ten hits including three doubles and a grand slam in 21 at-bats to go along with one stolen base, three walks and three hit-by-pitches. Moore also had nine putouts, 17 assists and two errors in 28 chances in the field. He began the week with a two-for-three performance with a double, two hit-by-pitches and two RBIs in a 7-5 victory over Delaware Valley College that helped Moravian snap a seven-game losing streak. Moore was then two-for-five with an RBI and a stolen base in a 10-7 win at Messiah to begin a three-game Commonwealth Conference series. He was two-for-three with a run on the first game of the doubleheader against Messiah, a 2-0 Greyhound win, and Moore was one-for-four with a run and a double in the second game, a 1-0, nine-inning win by Moravian.

Moore was just one-for-two with a run and a double in a 5-4 loss at King’s College in the first game of a doubleheader; however, he was hit by a pitch and intentionally walked for a .750 on-base percentage for the game. Moore completed the week with a two-for-four performance with two runs and a grand slam home run, his sixth homer of the season and 12 of his career, in a 5-4 Moravian win at King’s. Moore improved his school career records to 166 hits and 32 doubles during the week.

Lawrence, pictured at left, tossed a nine-inning shutout to earn a 1-0 victory and give Moravian a Commonwealth Conference series sweep of Messiah in his only action last week. Lawrence allowed just four hits and two walks while striking out three batters for his tenth collegiate win and second career shutout. The contest was part of a doubleheader and originally scheduled for just seven innings but neither team scored forcing extra innings.

Moravian is scheduled to return to action on Tuesday, April 24th in a non-conference game versus DeSales University at Limeport Stadium beginning at 7:00 p.m.
