"LOUISVILLE SLUGGER'S" NATIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

1B Ryan Hutson, Texas-San Antonio: Hutson belted 5 home runs over 4 games last week and collected 8 RBI as he went 7-for-16 at the plate. During a game against Central Arkansas, he hit 3 home runs and knocked in 4 runs. Hutson became the fourth player in UTSA history to hit 3 homers in a game and the first since Jose Hernandez accomplished the feat during the 2009 season.

RHP Tyler Jones, Louisiana St.: Jones pitched a 3-hit shutout against New Orleans with 15 strikeouts during a 9-inning complete game. The 15 strikeouts recorded by Jones was the most by an LSU pitcher since Anthony Ranaudo fanned 15 Auburn batters during the 2009 season. Jones, a 21st round selection of the White Sox last summer, improved to 4-0 on the season.
