TicketsCINCINNATI – Garrett Schoenle was named American Athletic Conference pitcher of the Week and Eric Santiago earned a spot on the league's weekly honor roll; the conference office announced Monday.
The Bearcats (19-18, 8-8 AAC) took three of four from Wichita State at UC Baseball Stadium this past weekend and won its second-straight league series.
Schoenle had his longest outing since March 2019 in a 6-0 Friday win over the Shockers. He moved to 4-1 on the year, threw 121 pitches, scattered four hits with two walks while striking out nine and not surrendering an extra-base hit. He notched his 150th career strikeout in the game and has totaled 152 K's over his UC career. His 8.0 innings pitched was the second-longest start of his career and longest since going 8.1 innings in a win at USF on March 24, 2019.
Santiago hit .571 (8-14) for the series with two runs scored, a double and two runs driven in. He laid down a crucial sacrifice bunt on Sunday which led to the go-ahead-run scoring in the bottom of the seventh inning. UC's leader this season with nine doubles made his 200th career start in the WSU series finale, playing in the 209th game at Cincinnati which moved him into eighth place all-time on the career games played chart.
UP NEXT
Cincinnati will play eight-straight AAC road games before returning home for an eight-game homestand to close out the regular season. First up is a trek to Tampa, Florida to take on USF (15-19, 5-7 AAC). The Bearcats and Bulls face off at USF Baseball Stadium with a Friday doubleheader starting at 3 p.m. ET and single games on Saturday and Sunday at 4 p.m. and 11 a.m., respectively.
All four games will air on ESPN+ with live stats at BearcatStats.com.
