HITTER
Carson Ogilvie, Lubbock Christian, SS, Sr., Finance, Spring, Texas (Oak Ridge HS)
Ogilvie was 9-for-14 with three home runs a double, eight RBIs and eight runs scored to lead Lubbock Christian to a road series split against fellow nationally-ranked Angelo State. Ogilvie had a two-homer game and all three of his blasts came in the Chaps’ wins. He also walked twice, was hit by a pitch and stole a base. He slugged 1.429, posted a .667 on-base percentage and struck out just once against the team with the best earned-run average and most strikeouts in the league. Ogilvie, who now leads the league with nine home runs (as well as triples, slugging percentage and OPS), extended his hitting streak to 14 games.
 
PITCHER
Brayden Ross, UAFS, RHP, Jr., Business Administration, Charleston, Ark. (CHS)
Ross tossed a complete-game shutout with seven strikeouts to lead UAFS to a win on the road against St. Edward’s. The right-hander scattered four hits – all but one were singles – over the seven innings. He walked only two batters in the 4-0 game that evened the series at 1-1. It was Ross’ second complete game this season.
