Robinson turned in a monster week at the plate for the Maroon Tigers, helping power Morehouse to a 4-1 record from March 10-15. Over five games, Robinson hit .316 (6-for-19) with six runs scored, nine RBI, five home runs, four walks, and a 1.105 slugging percentage.

Robinson also homered in Morehouse’s 7-5 win over Stillman on March 10 and added another home run in the March 14 opener against LeMoyne-Owen, giving him home runs in three different games during the week.

Makle delivered the strongest week on the mound for Morehouse, combining dominance and efficiency in two appearances. Over 7.0 innings, Makle posted a 0.00 ERA, allowed just four hits, walked one, struck out 10, and limited opponents to a .167 batting average. Makle first gave the Maroon Tigers a major lift in relief during Morehouse’s 7-5 win over Stillman on March 10, tossing 3.0 scoreless innings while allowing only one hit and striking out three. He followed that with another clutch outing in the March 14 conference opener against LeMoyne-Owen, working 4.0 scoreless innings with three hits allowed, one walk, and seven strikeouts to earn the win in a 7-5 Morehouse victory.
