NEW YORK – After a pair of heroic walk-off hits, Xavier baseball's Joe Gellenbeck was named the BIG EAST Player of the Week on Monday – marking a second straight week an XU player has earned the award.
Xavier came back in dramatic fashion on both Saturday and Sunday, overcoming a five-run deficit in game two and a four-run deficit in game three to claim a big series win. As a result, the Musketeers are tied for first-place in the BIG EAST standings with three league games to play.
