Texas Collegiate League

Catcher Adam Moore of the Coppell Copperheads and righthander Jake Arietta of the McKinney Marshals are the recipients of the D-Bat Texas Collegiate League Player and Pitcher of the Week Awards for June 7-12, it was announced Monday by the TCL office.

Moore, a red-shirt from the University of Nebraska, batted a league best .580 (11-19) with three homers, also a TCL high, and six rbi in six games for the Copperheads. The righthanded batter added six runs scored and five walks in helping Coppell to a 5-1 start. He homered in consecutive games on June 8 versus Euless and June 9 at McKinney.

Arietta, a freshman from Weatherford College, pitched 11 scoreless innings in his two starts issuing just six hits with three walks and 15 strikeouts. He worked five scoreless frames with seven k’s on June 8 versus Highland Park and fanned eight in six innings on June 12 against Coppell but did not receive a decision in either start.

Arietta was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 26th round of last week’s Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft.
