Alex Valasek of Alma earned Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Baseball Player of the Week honors on Monday for games through May 9.
Valasek, a junior from Saginaw, won pitcher of the week honors for a second straight week after throwing a no-hitter against Olivet on Friday. His no-no came one week after a one-hit outing against Kalamazoo that claimed honors last week. Valasek picked up the complete-game victory in seven innings of work. He walked just two Comets and stuck out six Olivet batters.
