Mike O'Reilly of the baseball team was selected as the TraveLynx Athlete of the Week, for the period ending March 27.

O'Reilly tossed a complete game five-hit shutout against No. 17 Columbus State University last Friday. He struck out six batters and walked just two. O'Reilly held the Cougars to a .161 batting average. Columbus State entered as the team leader in several offensive categories in the Peach Belt Conference, including team batting average (.345). O'Reilly only allowed two base runners to reach scoring position and he only allowed seven base runners in the entire game. He retired 11 batters on fly outs and another nine on ground outs.

This season, O'Reilly leads the staff in strikeouts with 63; innings pitched at 57.1; and is tied for the team lead in wins with five.

O'Reilly is third in the PBC in wins; second in complete games, innings pitched and strikeouts; first in shutouts; and fifth in strikeouts per nine innings.
