Harbor's Bauer Repeats As Top CCCBCA Pitcher, Glendale's Jenkins SoCal Player of the Week #8
For the second straight week, LA Harbor righthander Lucas Bauer earned CCCBCA SoCal Pitcher of the Week while Glendale outfielder Adonis Jenkins is the Player of the Week #8 (Mar. 9-15)
Bauer, a 5-11 sophomore transfer from Allegheny College and Saint Mary's High both in Pennsylvania, was sensational with a complete-game, 2-hit shutout, walking two and striking out nine, as Harbor defeated state #4 ranked El Camino, 6-0, on March 12. He has struck out 41 batters in 38.2 innings this season with a 3.26 ERA.
Jenkins, 6-foot sophomore from Bishop Alemany High in Mission Hills, crushed the ball in a 2-game series split by Glendale v. Canyons. In the opening 17-16 loss, Jenkins batted 4-for-6, launching three home runs, a double (14 total bases) and knocking in eight RBI. He then went 3-for-5 with another HR and two RBI in the Vaqueros' 9-6 victory.
