Four days after making his collegiate debut for Vincennes University (Ind.), former Madisonville-North Hopkins catcher Drew Bennett toed the rubber on the opposite side of the battery at pitcher.
Bennett assumed the mound on Feb. 19 in relief against the University of the Cumberlands as Vincennes finished with a 12-4 victory.
On the hill, Bennett, a 6-3, 190-pound right-hander, tossed one inning and allowed one earned run on two hits. He also walked two and struck out one.
In his first collegiate contest, Bennett finished 0-for-2, but recorded a walk, RBI and run scored. The next day, he collected his first hit against Tennessee Wesleyan College. Bennett reached on a single and hit by pitch to score two runs and knock in one RBI.
On March 8 against Buffalo College (N.Y.), Bennett delivered an RBI pinch-hit double in the first of three straight games he recorded RBIs. One day after the contest with Buffalo, Bennett had his first multi-hit performance going 2-for-5 with an RBI and double.
Bennett has primarily been used as a designated hitter, but has made one start at catcher thus far.
At the plate, the Maroon product has notched four hits in 21 at-bats including two doubles and five RBIs. Bennett has also reached base via four walks and one hit by pitch.
