TROY, Ala. – After an offensive explosion at the plate, Shane Lewis has been named the Sun Belt Player of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday. This is Lewis's second honor in as many days after being named National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball.
Lewis had one of the best outings of the past week against UAB and USC-Upstate in the country. The Vicksburg, Miss. native hit a team-high .615, going 8-13 with 14 RBIs, four home runs, and five runs scored.
A historic day in game two against the Spartans saw Lewis record eight RBIs with two home runs, the first time a Trojan recorded eight RBIs in a single game since 2006. Lewis leads the nation in runs batted in per game (2.36), recording at least one RBI in all but three games this season.
Lewis is among the conference leaders in several offensive categories, including RBIs (26), second in slugging percentage (1.000,) and home runs (8). Lewis's eight home runs on the season already match the Trojans' total for most hit by a player last season. In addition, he has reached base safely in all 11 games this season.
This is the first player of the week award for the Trojans since Easton Kirk took home the honor in April of last season. Lewis and the Trojans welcome No. 24 ranked FGCU for a two-game series Tuesday and Wednesday.
