SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – A pair of Missouri State juniors were honored Monday after helping the Bears to a 2-2 week, with Ben Whetstone picking up a national player of the week citation from Collegiate Baseball and Logan Wiley earning Missouri Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week recognition on the heels of his complete-game victory over New Orleans.

Whetstone registered a strong all-around performance last week, clubbing three home runs and driving in 10 runs while scoring six of his own and helping the Bears turn seven double plays in their four games last week. He enters the week riding a hot streak that has included six multi-hit performances during a career-best 13-game hit streak. The first baseman from Overland Park, Kan., has hit a team-best .388 (19-for-49) with four homers and 17 RBIs, while slugging .755 during his streak, which began on April 2.

Wiley recorded his first complete-game effort as a Bear in Friday's 6-1 win that clinched a series win over New Orleans. The Springfield, Mo., native struck out a career-high nine hitters, scattered four hits and four walks while permitting just one unearned run to notch his second mound victory of the season. The right-hander retired the first seven hitters of the game in order, then set down eight in a row from the sixth through the eighth innings, including four-straight strikeouts during one stretch.

Missouri State (13-26) will travel to Columbia to take on Missouri in the second leg of the two clubs' home-and-home series Tuesday (April 23) evening at 6 p.m. (CDT).
