CINCINNATI – After clinching a BIG EAST regular season title for the first time, Xavier baseball swept the conference's weekly awards on Monday as Joe Gellenbeck and Zac Lowther were honored as BIG EAST Pitcher and Player of the Week, respectively.
Junior Trent Astle was also recognized on the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll.
Gellenbeck, after collecting two walk-offs last week against Creighton, continued to be clutch for the Musketeers in the Villanova series. The junior first baseman hit .400 (6-for-15), leading Xavier to a sweep with two homers and seven RBI.
