SAN RAMON, Calif. — With the first week of action in the books for many squads, Sonoma State’s Joshua Lenney and Joe Ryan of Stanislaus State both made impressive debuts to earn California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Player and Pitcher of the Week for Jan. 29 - Feb. 4.
 
CCAA Baseball Player of the Week - Joshua Lenney

Lenney, a junior transfer from Santa Rosa JC, made his Seawolves debut and helped the team to a weekend sweep of Holy Names. Lenney went 4-for-9 in the three-game series, hitting home runs in back-to-back contests to start the season, and drove in seven in the series. The third baseman also scored four times and totaled 11 bases.

Lenney's most outstanding performance came in the Seawolves' home opener in which he went 2-for-2 with a double and a home run, driving in five. Lenney touts a .444/.500/1.222 slash line to start the season.

Next up, Sonoma State travels to Fresno Pacific this weekend for three games on Friday and Saturday. Then, the Seawolves have two weekends off before opening CCAA play against Chico State Feb. 23-25.

Ryan made an impressive debut as a Warrior as the senior right-hander made the first start of the season on Friday. The new ace struck out nine batters -- five straight at one point -- without a walk in five innings of work. The San Anselmo native who transferred from Cal State Northridge gave up just one earned run on five hits in leading the Warriors to Friday’s 3-2 victory over Northwest Nazarene.

Stanislaus State takes on conference foe Cal State LA this weekend, in out-of-conference action. The Warriors begin a four-game series against the Golden Eagles on Friday at 6 p.m.
