SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – NDSU righthander Cade Feeney and Northern Colorado first baseman Caden Wagner garnered the latest TicketSmarter Summit League baseball weekly honors. Feeney was named the Peak Pitcher of the Week, while Wagner collected the Peak Performer of the Week accolade, League officials announced Monday.
Feeney picked up his first win of the season in NDSU’s Summit League opener at Omaha. The righthander allowed a run on three hits in a season-best seven innings of work. The Mavericks only tally off Feeney was an unearned run in the first.
Feeney would surrender just one hit after the opening frame and strike out four Mavericks in the 10-2 victory for the Bison.
Wagner hit .600 in Northern Colorado’s Summit League series win over South Dakota State, including a 5-for-8 effort in the Bears’ two wins. He also scored four runs, had four RBI and three extra-base hits against the Jackrabbits.
In the series opener, it was Wagner’s three-run homer in the eighth that put the Bears ahead for good. He capped the series with a season-high three hits and scored twice as UNC took the finale, 9-6. The Parker, Colo., native reached base in all five of the Bears’ games last week and carries a four-game hitting streak into a mid-week game against the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs.
