SCRANTON, Pa. -- Lackawanna College baseball picked up some national recognition this week, as Jake Kelleher (Exeter, PA) earned an NJCAA Division II Offensive Player of the Week nod, according to a social media post from the NJCAA this past Wednesday.


























Jake is currently in the middle of a 15-game hitting streak, and he was hot last week, going 11-for-17 (.647) in four games. Kelleher drove in seven RBIs, scored six runs, and had two doubles and one homer. Jake had a 1.641 OPS in four games, which included a.700 OBP and a .941 SLG for the week. Jake had multiple hits in all four games, and has now had two or more hits in five straight contests. He was 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs, including a home run, in the win against Morris on Friday, then went a combined 6-for-9 with four runs and five RBIs in the doubleheader against the Titans on Saturday.
