MONMOUTH, Ore. - Griff Boyd and Grady Wood have both been selected for Great Northwest Athletic Conference weekly honors for the week of Apr. 30-May 6.

Boyd, a third baseman from Medford, Ore. (South Medford HS), had 10 hits in 18 at bats, including four doubles, as the Wolves won five of six games against Saint Martin's to earn GNAC Player of the Week honors. The senior drove in six runs, including two to break a 5-5 tie in Wednesday's 7-5 win at Monmouth. In Saturday's nightcap, he had three hits in three at bats and scored one run while driving in a second run.  In Sunday's 6-5 victory, he had a hit and a walk in three plate appearances and also scored a run. Boyd is now tied with teammate Bo Folkinga for third place in the GNAC batting race with .370 averages, one point in back of runner-up Sean McDonald of Northwest Nazarene. Wolf shortstop Blake Miller is hitting .402 and leads McDonald by 31 points. Boyd has now reached safely in 13 games, which included six multi-hit games.

Grady Wood, a senior right hander from Junction City, Ore. (Junction City HS), was named the GNAC co-Pitcher of the Week. He extended his win streak to 19 games, just two shy of the NCAA Division II record of 21 in pitching the Wolves to a 19-0 win over Saint Martin's. He also made his first relief appearance during his two seasons at Western Oregon, pitching a scoreless ninth inning (facing just two hitters to acquire three outs) and earning a save in Wednesday's 7-5 victory.  Wood is now 11-0 on the season and has a microscopic 1.19 ERA. In 83 innings, he has struck out 77 and walked just nine. He also has put together a streak of 26 consecutive scoreless innings to rank second in GNAC history behind WOU's Nick Waechter who had a streak of 29 shutout innings. This is the second straight GNAC Pitcher of the Week honor for Wood.

The Western Oregon baseball team will be on the road this week at Montana State Billings to close out its regular season schedule. The four-game series will open on Friday at 1:00 p.m. and conclude with another doubleheader on Saturday starting at Noon.
