5-24-10 from: - http://conferenceusa.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl/spec-rel/052310aaa.html - A pair of hurlers that turned in terrific performances on the mound in the final weekend of conference play share this week's Conference USA Pitcher of the Week award, as Mike Ojala of Rice and Todd McInnis of Southern Miss split the honor. McInnis finished the regular season by limiting Memphis to three hits and no earned runs to win his sixth game of the season on Saturday and lower his C-USA-leading ERA to 2.91 on the season. The junior left last week's game at Rice after two innings with arm trouble but rebounded by throwing 6.2 innings with three strikeouts and one walk to lead Southern Miss to a second place finish in Conference USA. The victory was the 25th of his career moving him into 10th place on the Conference USA all-time win list. This is the second Pitcher of the Week honor in three weeks for McInnis, the reigning C-USA Pitcher of the Year.

The senior had three multiple-hit games including two grand slams and an inside-the-park home run at MSU. With the score tied 5-5 in the top of the 10th in Friday’s series opener, Adamson parked the first pitch he saw, hitting a grand slam and helping JSU to the victory. In the second game of that doubleheader Adamson hit an inside-the-park home run and added his second grand slam of the day as Jax State won 17-0. Adamson also added three hits in the two-run loss at No. 16 Auburn on Tuesday. Adamson hit .667 with runners in scoring position and had five two-out RBI. Adamson has reached base safely in every game this season.
5-21 from: - http://baseballbeginnings.com/category/2010-draft - Cody Buckel has enough power to be a pro prospect, but power probably won’t be his strength as he ages. For Buckel, his greatest weapon will be alternating the natural sink and run he gets with his two-seam fastball. When you look at this player down the road, he has the potential to have a fastball that grades out to slightly above-average in velocity and above-average in movement and command. You see bits and pieces of it at this stage of his development, including in this most recent outing, a 1-0 complete game playoff victory.
5-24 from: - http://baseballbeginnings.com/category/2010-draft - Cody Buckel proved wrong the scouts who told him last year that he was finished growing and was never going to throw any harder than he was then. He’ll find himself drafted in a good round this year. The thing with Buckel is you can anticipate some projection for power, but you have a guy who understands that his greatest weapon will be to work low and let his movement work for him. That translates to a power sinker type in the coming years.

The highlight of Boyd’s week was his go-ahead, run-scoring single with two outs in the eighth inning to give the Tigers a 9-8 win over the Seminoles on Thursday. In four games last week, Boyd batted .571 with eight hits, a homer, double, five RBIs, three runs, four walks, a .667 on-base percentage, and a steal. He had multiple hits in each of the first three games of the week, including two three-hit games, and walked three times in four plate appearances in the final game of the week. In the three-game sweep over the Seminoles, Boyd was 5-for-9 (.556) with a homer, four RBIs, three runs, four walks, and a .692 on-base percentage.
