LSC BASEBALL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
LSC Hitter of the Week
Travis Lites, Angelo State University
Fr., Outfielder/Catcher, Rockwall, Texas/Rockwall
Travis Lites continued the hot start to his career, having hit safely in 13-straight games, since relinquishing his redshirt status against Southwestern Oklahoma to help out the injury-plagued Rams.  The Rockwall native was 13-for-23 (.619) at the plate last week with three doubles, his first home run, scored 11 runs, drove in five and was 3-for-4 in the stolen base department.  He finished the week with a .667 on-base percentage and a .905 slugging percentage.  He had multi-hit games in all five games last week, his best performance coming against Texas A&M-Kingsville in the series finale when he was 4-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBI in an 11-10 loss to the Javelinas.

Co-LSC Pitcher of the Week
Rance Plunkett, Northeastern State University
Sr., Pitcher, Stroud, Okla.    
Rance aided in two RiverHawks victories over Central Oklahoma.  He came into the game in the ninth inning and went the rest of the wayas the RiverHawks pulled out a 7-6 victory in 16 innings.  Plunkett went eight innings, scattered five hits and gave up no earned runs while fanning five Broncho hitters.

Trey Watten, Abilene Christian University
Sr., Right-Handed Pitcher, Coppell, Texas/Coppell High School
ACU's ace righthander, Trey Watten, tossed his third complete game of the season (and first shutout) in Saturday's 8-0 win over Tarleton State in what turned out to be the regular-season finale for both teams.  Watten struck out seven batters and allowed just four baserunners (three hits, one ACU error) in the complete-game performance.  Only one Texan baserunner advanced past first base in the game as Watten -- pitching in front of at least nine major league baseball scouts -- had some of his best stuff of the season.  After giving up a leadoff single to start the game, Watten retired 13 straight Texans before a one-out error by the Wildcats in the fifth inning.
