WATCH: It was a tough three games for his @chshornetbball squad, but head coach Michael Stallings is proud of the way his team fought, especially @silas_osbourn9 and @AidenCraven4. Now, it’s a chance in the Elite Eight to get back to the Final Four in a couple of weeks.
Our players of the week for round two are Silas Osbourn (Pitcher) & Aiden Craven (Hitter).
Osbourn threw a CG shutout in the clincher over Pike Road. He allowed 3 hits & K’d 9. Craven went 5-for-9 in the series with a 2B, 3B & 5 RBI. He also reached via HBP and swiped two bases.
OF Aiden Craven (@AidenCraven4, 2026) continues to show a high-level hit tool as he lines an offering the other way for a 2-RBI double.
All fields approach, simple operation. Able to manipulate the barrel through the hitting zone. Quality uncommitted 2026 still on the board.
All knotted up at 2-2, T3.
