NAPERVILLE, Ill. -- Illinois Wesleyan’s Ricky Angel and Millikin’s Joe Kentos were named College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) Baseball Players of the Week Tuesday after their performances during the previous week of competition.

Angel, a senior second baseman from Glen Ellyn, Ill., and Glenbard West High School, batted .500 (10-for-20) and had a 1.150 slugging percentage as the Titans were 4-1 last week. Angel drove home seven runs in two separate games - going two-for-three with a grand slam and seven RBI in
a 16-5 win against Wheaton on April 19 and he was two-for-six with two three-run homers and seven RBI in a 14-12 win at Monmouth on April 15. He was also three-for-four with two doubles and four RBI in a 17-10 win at Wheaton April 18. For the week Angel had 22 RBI, four doubles and three homers, drew three walks and was hit by pitches twice for a .600 on-base percentage. In the win over Monmouth, Angel became the school’s all-time leader in career RBI with 153.

Kentos, a sophomore pitcher from Chicago, Ill., and Marist High School, pitched the Big Blue to a 6-1 win over Elmhurst on April 20, going all nine innings, scattering six hits and one run while striking out six and walking no batters.
