MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Troy junior Danny Collins completed the sweep of national awards as the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association named him its National Player of the Week on Tuesday. Collegiate Baseball named Collins the Louisville Slugger National Player Week on Monday.
Collins had a monster week at the plate for the Trojans as he went 8-for-14 (.571) with two doubles, two triples, a home run, nine runs scored and nine RBIs. He hit Troy's first cycle since 2009 after going 5-for-6 in game two of the series as the Trojans swept a four-game set from Florida A&M.
Collins finished the four-game series with 17 total bases, a 1.214 slugging percentage, a .667 on-base percentage and a 1.881 OPS. He did not strikeout over 18 plate appearances and was perfect on his lone stolen base attempt.
The Niceville, Fla., native leads the Sun Belt in hits, runs scored, RBIs, triples, home runs and total bases after the opening week of play. Collins, who drew two walks and was hit by a pair of pitches, reached base on 12 of his 18 plate appearances.
The Trojans return to action this weekend with three games in Orlando, Fla., in the Wawa Weekend Classic hosted by Central Florida. Troy will play Texas Tech on Friday at 11 a.m., Connecticut on Saturday at 12 p.m. and Central Florida on Sunday at 2 p.m.
