Yoder, a junior second baseman from Berlin, Ohio, batted .625 (5-for-8) with a 1.500 slugging percentage as the Cougars swept a non-conference doubleheader from Walsh University in the team’s only action of the week. In the first game, the former Hiland High School star went 2-for-4 with a home run, one RBI, and two runs scored. Then, in the second contest, Yoder went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, two runs scored, and four RBI.

On the season, Yoder leads the team with a .409 batting average (47-for-115) and 33 runs scored. He has recorded seven doubles, one triple, six home runs, four stolen bases, and shares the team lead with 27 RBI as a lead-off batter. In the field, Yoder has handled 149 chances with just four errors for a 97.3 fielding percentage. He has also been a part of two home run records this season as he became the first player in school history to homer in three consecutive games, and he was also part of a four-homer inning against Mayville State (N.D.) University on March 15.

MVNU is currently 20-10 overall on the season and in third place in the AMC South Division with an 8-4 conference mark. The Cougars are slated to return to action on Thursday with an AMC South Division doubleheader at home against Cedarville University starting at 2:00 p.m.
