Gage Schenk Named MAC Co-Pitcher Of The Week
April 26, 2022 | Baseball
CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference announced Tuesday morning (April 26) the MAC Honors for the last week of baseball. Of those named, Bowling Green's Gage Schenk earned recognition as the MAC Baseball Co-Pitcher of the Week, being named alongside Central Michigan's Adam Mrakitsch. This is the first time Schenk has won the award and the second Falcon this season, joining Jeremy Spezia who was named on Feb. 21.
Schenk, a senior from Wapakoneta, Ohio (Wapakoneta) put together an incredible outing for the Falcons on Friday (April 22) against Western Michigan. Getting the starting nod on the mound, Schenk was able to toss all nine innings while giving up just four hits and one walk against the Broncos.
Despite the weekend series between Bowling Green and Western Michigan resulting in 87 total runs scored, Schenk was able to hold the Broncos scoreless to start the weekend in the 4-0 BGSU victory. The nine-inning complete game shutout by Schenk was the first for the Orange and Brown since the 2015 season, seeing him toss 114 pitches in his first complete game at the collegiate level.
Schenk and the Falcons will be back on the field this weekend, traveling to face Eastern Michigan on the road in Ypsilanti for a four-game series. The first game of the series is set for a 4:00 p.m. first pitch on Friday (April 29).
