Koerbel and Dubensky Tabbed AMCC Baseball Players of the Week
David
Koerbel (Pittsburgh/Central Catholic) was named AMCC Baseball Pitcher of the
Week and Dustin Dubensky (Punxsutawney/Punxsutawney) was named AMCC Baseball
Player of the Week on May 12. Koerbel and Dubensky both came through
this weekend at the AMCC Championship Tournament, helping the blue and white
earn the conference title and automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Koerbel earned two of the Behrend's three conference tournament wins. He
went the distance in a 8-0 complete game shutout over Pitt-Bradford on
Friday, then came in on short relief on Sunday to hold off Pitt-Bradford in
the top of the ninth inning and shut down a Panthers rally to earn the
title.
Dubensky
hit .562 (9-for-16) in leading the Behrend Lions to the AMCC Title, driving
in eight runs and scoring five runs. In the championship game against
Pitt-Bradford on Sunday, Dubensky came through with four RBIs in a 9-8
victory. His three doubles in the tournament boosted his league-leading
total to 23 for the season.
The Penn State Behrend baseball team
will head to Kean University to compete this week in the NCAA Division III
Baseball Tournament. The blue and white snagged the AMCC conference title
on May 11, and will now head to the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament to
compete in opening round play in an eight-team regional on Wednesday, May
14.
Behrend (34-10) earned the #4 seed in the Mid-Atlantic regional and will play #5 seed
