Berger named SLIAC Hitter of the Week

St. Louis-Fontbonne University senior shortstop Rob Berger has been designated as the first St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Hitter of the Week for the 2014 season.

Berger aided the Griffins in their season opener, defeating Washington University 12-10 on a very cold, wintery afternoon at GCS Ballpark on Tuesday.

Berger went 3-4, with a leadoff walk, three singles, and a sac fly, bringing in three RBI's and scoring twice himself. Berger helped his team defensively with one put out and two assists in the game.

Barring field conditions, the Griffins are scheduled to host Carthage College on Saturday at 11am and Benedictine University (Ill.) on Sunday at 2:30pm.
