A good week on the field means good news for Concord's Baseball team.
CU took three of four games in its WVIAC Southern Division series at Ohio Valley last Friday and Saturday. As a result, the Mountain Lions have moved up in the latest regional rankings, and infielder Greyson Schram earned WVIAC Co-Player of the Week honors.
Concord outscored the Fighting Scots 38-14 to move into a share of the division lead. Schram paced the Mountain Lions attack by batting a sizzling .727 (8-11) with two home runs, including a grand slam. The senior from Stanley, NC also walked twice, drove in eight runs, and scored eight times.
