vachon named player of the week

Baseball, Men’s Tennis Defeated Baseball The big hit was elusive as the Mules fell to Moravian for the first time in six years. Muhlenberg (6-7) fell into a 6-0 hole after three innings but had good chances to come back when it loaded the bases with nobody out in the fifth and seventh innings. The Mules netted only one run in the two frames and went on to lose, 8-3. Junior Eric Hammond continued his hot hitting, going 3-for-5 with two bunt singles and an RBI single to center. He is 10-for-19 in his last five games. The result knotted the Matte Award standings for 2007-08 at six apiece. Click here for line score.
