April 26, 2010 | Baseball
Jon Berti was rewarded for a fantastic five game span in which he led the Falcons' in nearly all offensive categories over that span of time. On Monday afternoon the Mid-American Conference office annouced that Berti was named the MAC East Player of the Week.
The Troy, Mich. native set the tone for the series with OU on the first day with a 4-for-6 performance against the Bobcats where he scored three times and knocked in a career-high six runs on the day. Berti hit one of his two home runs in the series in the third inning, a three-run shot to left-center field. He also notched three singles, two of which he took to the opposite side.
Berti reached base three times in Saturday's contest and made the Bobcats pay with a pair of stolen bases on the day. Sunday the sophomore went 1-for-3 with a pair of walks, scoring two of the four times he reached base. He recorded a pair of RBI that day with a two-run home run in the top of the eighth inning on a blast to left-center field, his second of the weekend.
On the weekend, Berti finished hitting .462 (6-for-13 with five runs scored, eight RBI, a .923 slugging-percentage (a team-high for the weekend) and a .563 on-base percentage. In addition to the his stellar weekend in Athens, Ohio, went a combined 5-for-9 in mid-week, non-conference action against Dayton (4/20) and Western Michigan (4/21).
In the Falcons' 6-3 win over the Flyers, Berti scored in his first three plate appearances and tied his career-high for triples in a season (5). In the Falcons' 19-4 beat down against the Broncos Berti again scored in his first three plate appearances and went 3-for-5 on the day.
Berti and the Falcons will now travel to Cleveland, Ohio to take on the Cleveland State Vikings in a single non-conference matchup on Wednesday. The time of the game has been changed to 4:00 p.m. ET.
