JACK POKORAK | LYNCHBURG | 1ST BASE
Pokorak, a senior from Dumfries, Va., was both prolific and clutch in helping nationally second-ranked Lynchburg extended its winning streak to 21 straight games with a non-conference win over Methodist University (15-1) on Tuesday, an ODAC sweep of Virginia Wesleyan University (11-2, 20-3) on Wednesday, and an ODAC road sweep of No. 9 Bridgewater College (5-2, 7-6) on Saturday. Against MU, Pokorak went 1-for-2 with a double, two RBI and a sacrifice fly. He was also hit by a pitch twice. Versus the Marlins, Pokorak went 3-for-6 combined with three RBI in each game and three total runs scored. He homered, walked, and plated a run with a sac fly in game two. At BC, Pokorak went 5-for-9 with a homer and a walk in game one. He drove in three runs over the two games, including a RBI single to plate the go-ahead and would-be game-winning run in the eighth inning. For the season, Pokorak is hitting .393 with a 1.204 OPS. He leads Division III with 68 RBI, one shy of tying former Lynchburg standout Avery Neaves for the ODAC record. His league-best 13 homes are tied for fifth in Division III.
