Athletes of the Week – 5/5/23

By Staff | May 4, 2023

Jake Mueller

Senior

Baseball

Island Coast Gators

The Alabama commit went 7-for-12 over three games for the Gators, totaling seven RBI and four extra-base hits. Versus Evangelical Christian, Mueller blasted two home runs, the second being a walk-off, two-run shot in a 6-5 win.

“We were down two and a guy got on and I was just trying to keep the game going, not trying to do too much. It was a 3-0 count and I got the green light, so I said to myself if I get a good pitch, let’s try to crush it. I got the pitch and hit it very well.”

Crimson Lawrence

Sophomore

Softball

Mariner Tritons

Lawrence helped the Tritons to a 3-0 week in the circle and with the bat. She went 6-for-11 at the plate over three contests, and tossed two complete games, including a 9-inning shutout versus Fort Myers. In three appearances, she pitched 19.2 innings and allowed two earned runs, six hits, and struck out 27.

“When I’m in the circle, I try to stay relaxed. My teammates always help me feel confident on the mound and at the plate. I try to prepare myself mentally before the game and focus on hitting my spots. I’m always working to get better, especially on my mechanics and spin.”
