For the second time in his career, Calvin junior Colton Wolfe has been named the MIAA Position Player of the week in baseball.

Wolfe posted a .429 average with nine hits. Six of those hits went for extra bases including three home runs. He drilled a home run, triple and double to produce five RBI in an 8-2 victory over Utica, to close to within a single away from the cycle on March 14. The infielder ended the week with 13 RBI, seven runs scored and a slugging percentage of 1.048. Wolfe also participated in four double plays on defense to go with five assists and no errors.
