LEWISBURG, Pa. - Current Patriot League Player of the Week, Bucknell junior Ryan Gryskevicz (Dallas, Pa./Dallas) was named to the College Baseball Foundation's National Honor Roll for his performance last week, marking the first time a Bison has received national recognition this season.
Over five games last week, Gryskevicz batted .500 (9-for-18), including helping Bucknell to a 3-1 series win over Navy by going 8-for-14 at the plate against the Mids. He scored five runs, and batted in five with a double, three walks and two stolen bases as the Bison claimed the No. 2 seed in the Patriot League Tournament and tied with Lehigh for the regular season crown.
In a 3-0 game one victory against Navy, Gryskevicz knocked three of Bucknell's four hits in the contest, going 3-for-3 at the plate. He followed up by driving in the go-ahead runs for the Orange and Blue in a come-from-behind 10-8 game two victory and will carry a six-game hitting streak into the Patriot League Tournament.
Bucknell (23-22, 13-7 Patriot League) will remain idle until the Patriot League Tournament on May 13, when the Bison will take on Lafayette at noon in Bethlehem, Pa. The teams will play a single elimination game for the right to face Lehigh in a best-of-three series for the league championship.
