JU's Angelo, RU's Morales Selected As Baseball Weekly Award Winners

CHICAGO --- A three-home run week for Judson University's Jake Angelo (Yorkville, Ill.) and a complete-game shutout by Roosevelt University's Angel Morales (Chicago, Ill.) have earned the pair Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Baseball Player and Pitcher of the Week accord, respectively, for the seven-day period ending March 10, the league office announced on Tuesday morning.

Angelo hit his three home runs in a doubleheader sweep of Maranatha Baptist University (Wis.) on Saturday.  The senior first baseman/designated hitter collected hits in all but one of his eight at-bats, going 7-for-8 with two runs scored and ten runs batted in.  That gave him an .875 batting average and a 2.000 slugging percentage for the week.

Angelo clubbed two of his home runs in a 22-3 first-game victory, where he drove in eight runs.  In the nightcap, he was a perfect 4-for-4.

Judson is 3-11 on the season following its 2-0 week.

Morales tossed his shutout last Tuesday in a 1-0 victory over Northwestern College (Iowa) down in Florida.  The junior righthander scattered four hits in the seven-inning affair.

Roosevelt went 3-1 on the week and is 9-6 overall.
