After putting together one of the best weeks in Murray State baseball history, junior outfielder Daniel Hill was named a Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball Monday. Hill is one of six players to receive the weekly honor.
Hill (Germantown, Tenn.) helped the ?Breds to a 5-1 week by going 15-for-26 (.577) with two doubles, five home runs, 18 RBIs and nine runs scored. He had a slugging percentage of 1.231 and an on-base percentage of .633.
He started the week by going 3-for-4 with a pair of RBIs in a mid-week victory over Freed-Hardeman and followed it up the next day by going 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs against Arkansas State.
Hill stepped up his game in the four-game series against North Dakota State as he led school-record 28-hit attack in the series opener by going 5-for-7 with a double, three home runs and eight RBIs in the 20-9 victory. He tied the MSU single-game record for hits and home runs in a game.
In the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday, Hill did not get much to hit at the plate as he walked twice and was hit by a pitch in four plate appearances. The Bison did not fare so well in the second game as Hill was 2-for-4 with a double and two RBIs.
The series finale turned into a classic slugfest as the ?Breds rallied twice and survived a ninth-inning rally. Hill hit his fifth home run of the week and drove in three runs in the 13-11 victory.
On the season, Hill is hitting .440 with three doubles, seven home runs and 26 RBIs. He has also scored 13 runs and has a .920 slugging percentage. He is among the national leaders in home runs and RBIs.
