McDermott, Peltier Earn Weekly Awards
By: Ball State Athletics
After standout performances in a series win over the weekend, Ball State pitcher Chayce McDermott and third baseman Ryan Peltier earned conference and national notice. McDermott was named NCBWA Pitcher of the Week and MAC Pitcher of the Week, while Peltier was selected MAC Player of the Week.
McDermott tied his career high for strikeouts and did it without walking a batter in a seven-inning, complete game victory in game two of the Cardinals' weekend series. The Anderson, Indiana, product fanned nine consecutive Toledo batters at one point, marking the second time this season he has recorded nine straight outs via strikeout. He previously did it at Kentucky.
