Senior Eric Fick of the Ottertail Central baseball team is the Olson Oil Company Athlete of the Week.  Fick was instrumental in two OTC victories during the week, beginning with a 2-0 win over Wadena-Deer Creek on Tuesday, May 6 and culminating with a 10-0 win over Verndale on Senior Night, Friday May 9. 

 

Playing left field to start the game with WDC, Fick prevented a potential extra-base hit with a diving catch.  Later in the game he came on in relief of starter Kale Misegades and pitched two scoreless innings, striking out three batters to lock down the save and preserve the shutout.  He also went 1-for-3 at the plate.

In the Senior Night victory, Fick threw a gem on the mound, going 5 shutout innings and striking out 11 batters for the second time this year.  He allowed just two hits and walked three.  “Fick was in total control as he had command of all of his pitches, retiring 15 of the 22 batters he faced with ease,” noted head coach Ryan Hendrickson.
