Hunter Macomber: PBR Player of the Week - April 22 - 29
May 1, 2018
Player of the Week nominations are submitted by High School coaches across North Carolina each week. Along with the nominations, Prep Baseball Report is diving into box scores, talking to coaches and scouts, and attending as many games as possible.
The week of April 22 - 29 saw much of the state battle rain and wet conditions. Many teams were forced to move some of their schedule to a later date, or cancel it all together. For Christ School, their only games of the week were on Saturday as Gaston Christian hosted a double-header. Christ School played SouthLake Christian in game one and turned around to play the host in game two.
Game two saw JR RHP Hunter Macomber take the mound for Christ School, after catching 11 innings in the first game of the day. Macomber was efficient throwing 64% percent strikes in a 106 pitch outing. He fired first pitch strikes to 14 of the 24 batters faced. A 0-0 game entering the 7th, Christ School exploded for 11 runs, but that was not the end of the intrigue in the game as Macomber took the mound for the 7th with a no-hitter in tact. In the 7th, he would strikout the side, collecting 14 total strikeouts on the day and earning the no-no.
For his efforts, Hunter Macomber is the PBR Player of the Week for April 22 - 29. Over 30 players were mentioned after their efforts for the week.
