WI) � The senior shortstop became UW-Stevens Point�s all-time hits leader while
hitting .552 (16-for-29) and scoring 15 runs. Frombach now has 220 hits in his
four-year career, passing Ryan Jones on the school�s all-time list and moving
into a tie for fourth place in WIAC history. The team�s leadoff hitter, Frombach
sparked the Pointers� offense by reaching base 10 times in 15 leadoff at-bats.
Frombach was eight-for-eight on stolen bases and also had two doubles and drew
four walks for a .618 on-base percentage, leading the Pointers to a 5-2 record
for the week.
Baseball - Pitcher
Mike Thrun
(Franklin, WI) � The sophomore lefthander set a UW-Stevens Point single-game
record with 15 strikeouts in a win at Marian on Tuesday. Thrun, whose previous
single-game high was four strikeouts and entered the game with 18 career
strikeouts, achieved the feat in seven and one-third innings pitched. His total
eclipsed the previous record of 14 held by Bill Kuse in 1961 and Jordan
Zimmermann in 2006. Thrun recorded at least one strikeout in every inning and
earned the victory, scattering four hits, walking three and allowing one earned
run.
