Fisher's Roeder Honored as ECAC Player of the Week
St. John Fisher College's Chris Roeder has been recognized by the ECAC as the Division III Upstate Player of the Week for his effort during the week of April 21-28.
Roeder, Fisher's starting shortstop, led the baseball team to five wins in six games, while posting a .545 batting average (12-for-22) with seven RBI.
He is currently on a seven-game hitting streak with multiple hit games in four of his last five. He also scored seven times and stole two bases with three walks.
His best day at the plate came on Saturday in doubleheader-sweep of Houghton College. In the two wins, he was 5-for-8 with four RBI and three runs scored. In Fisher's lone loss of the week - a 4-3 decision to The College at Brockport -- Roeder was 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. He also led Fisher defensively, throwing out two runners at the plate and preventing runs from scoring.
