Baseball
Pete Clarke
Freshman, Shortstop - Tully, NY

-   After getting off to a slow start through the first half of the young season, Pete Clarke  has been ripping the ball and he was rewarded on Monday when he was picked as the Liberty League Rookie of the Week. Clarke went 5-for-9 on the weekend, driving in six runs and scoring three more in a doubleheader sweep of Union, 14-9 and 20-8. It was the only action of the week for Clarke and the Golden Knights, but the freshman shortstop has enjoyed a hot streak over the past eight games. Since the final doubleheader of the team's Florida trip, Clarke is 17-for-29 (.586 batting average) with 10 runs and 10 RBIs. He has an eight-game hitting streak and an eight-game run scoring streak over that time as well, and his batting average has jumped from .143 to .400.
