            For the second consecutive week, Clarion senior rightfielder Kevin Gledhill (Austin/Austin) is the PSAC-West Player of the Week.

He hustled out five triples and a double and accumulated nine runs and five RBI’s. His slugging percentage for the week was a whooping 1.110.

In the four-game PSAC-West slate with IUP over the weekend, he went 7-for-13 with three triples, five RBI’s and two runs scored.

On the season, Gledhill is hitting a team-leading .405 (47 of 116), leads the team in runs scored (29) and triples (8), is tied for the team lead in home runs (4) and doubles (13) and is second with 27 RBI’s. He is also 8 of 11 in stolen base attempts.
