Brevard College freshman infielder Cale Oehler secured his second USA South Conference Baseball Rookie of the Week accolade in as many weeks after helping lead the BC baseball team to a conference series win over Maryville College last weekend.
Oehler, a first-year student, went a combined 6-for-9 (.667) with a .750 on-base percentage, and a .889 slugging percentage to go along with two runs scored, three RBI, two doubles, and one stolen base as the Tornados took two of three games from USA South foe Maryville last week. In the series-clinching win, Oehler was 3-for-4 with two runs scored, one run batted in, one double, and one stolen base.
The left-handed slugger has accumulated a team-best eight doubles through the first 20 contests in 2022 while placing second on the squad in RBI (21) and maintaining a .387 batting average, which ranks third among Tornados. Defensively, Oehler was involved in seven total double plays over the weekend, as Brevard took two-out-of-three from the visiting Scots to kick off conference play.
Oehler and the rest of the Tornados are gearing up for their first USA South road series in Demorest, Georgia against Piedmont University, beginning on Friday at 7 p.m.
