SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Oral Roberts outfielder Jordan Wiley and righthander Isaac Coffey helped the Golden Eagles sweep Omaha in a three-game road series and clinch their 19th Summit League regular season title this past weekend and for their efforts, the duo collected the latest #SummitBSB weekly honors, league officials announced Monday.
Wiley went 7-for-11 at the plate (.636) with a pair of home runs and six RBI, while reaching base in 11 of 15 plate appearances (.733 OBP) against the Mavericks to earn Player of the Week accolades. He was credited with the game-winning RBI in two of the victories.
He went 2-for-4 with a pair of runs in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader, then was 1-for-3 and got plunked with the bases loaded in the eighth inning to bring home the winning run in a 2-1 triumph in game two.
In what proved to be the series finale Saturday because Sunday’s game was cancelled due to inclement weather, the senior went 4-for-4 and belted a go-ahead two-run homer in the ninth inning to give the Golden Eagles the sweep. The four hits were a season-high for Wiley, who increased his batting average in Summit games to a league-best .422.
Coffey picked up his league-leading eighth win of the season in the game Wiley used his body to drive home the winning run. The sophomore allowed just three hits, an unearned run and struck out eight in seven innings of work to pick up his league-best fourth weekly pitching honor of the season.
He also pushed his league-leading strike out total to 83 and lowered his league-leading ERA to 2.63 as he won his sixth-consecutive start.
