written by Dave Parsons, Sports Information Director

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (3-24-2008) - Richey Burgos and Levi Curry, two members of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University baseball team, were recently selected as the American Mideast Conference and NAIA Region IX Player and Pitcher of the Week respectively for their performances during the week of March 10-16.

Burgos, a senior third baseman from Ponce, Puerto Rico, posted a .500 batting average for the week as he went 9-for-18 in six games with at least one hit in every game. He had one double, one triple, one home run, three runs scored, and six RBI. He also drew two walks and was hit by a pitch once. He also committed just one error in the field in 34 chances.

On the season, Burgos leads the Cougars with a .481 batting average with two doubles, one triple, two home runs, 13 RBI, and nine runs scored. The former Puerto Rico Baseball Academy product has recorded at least one hit in all 15 games.

Curry, a senior left-handed pitcher from Mount Vernon, Ohio, tossed a three-hit shutout in a 6-0 victory over Judson (Ill.) University as MVNU won its season opener. The former Mount Vernon High School star walked six batters and struck out four over seven innings.

For the season, Curry has posted a 2-1 record on the mound with a 2.45 ERA. In 22.0 innings of work, he has struck out 13 batters while issuing 11 walks. He also has two pick-offs.

The Cougars are currently 8-7 overall after their 15-game spring trip to Ormond Beach, Florida to start the season. MVNU is scheduled to return to action on Tuesday with a non-conference nine-inning game at Kenyon College at 4:30 p.m.
