Michael Fischbach, Albion, Baseball Position Player of the Week

Michael Fischbach of Albion collected Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Baseball Player of the Week honors on Monday for games through March 13.

Fischbach, a senior from Valencia, Calif., won position player accolades after posting a .579 batting average on 11-of-19 hitting to help the Britons to a 4-1 record on its spring break trip last week. He ripped a home run, triple and double in an 8-5 victory over Central (Iowa), to close to within a single away from the cycle on March 7. Fischbach recorded a hit, run scored and an RBI in each of the five contests. The center fielder ended the week with nine RBI, six walks and a slugging percentage of 1.000.
