Van Kirk, Serrano Sweep Weekly Baseball Awards

ELMHURST, Ill. -- Oral Roberts' Brian Van Kirk and Mark Serrano were named The Summit League's Player and Pitcher of the Week, respectively, for their performances in the four-game sweep of Oakland last weekend, the league office announced.

Van Kirk collects Player of the Week honors after helping Oral Roberts to a four-game sweep Oakland last week. He had a hit in all four games, including three multi-hit games and two three-hit games for a .500 average on the week. The senior had a .944 slugging percentage, tallied eight RBI, six runs, two doubles and two home runs in the four games.

Serrano claims his second Pitcher of the Week award this season after pitching a complete-game shutout over Oakland last week. The junior recorded a career-high nine strikeouts, while giving up only three hits in the 11-0 Golden Eagle win. He limited the Golden Grizzlies to a .097 batting average and had a no-hitter through 4.2 innings.

ORU travels to Wichita, Kan. today to play nationally-ranked Wichita State at 7 p.m.
