St. Edward’s junior outfielder Connor Cox hit five doubles – including tying a Lone Star Conference record with four in a single game – and hit two home runs to help lead the Hilltoppers to a 3-1 series victory over Lubbock Christian. Cox hit .538 with six RBI, walked three times and was also hit by a pitch. He scored five times and also stole a base. In his record-tying performance, Cox went 4-for-4 and had four doubles by the fifth inning. He was intentionally walked in the seventh.
 
PITCHER
Timmy LaChappa, UT Permian Basin, RHP, Fr., Management, Hemet, Calif.
UT Permian Basin freshman right-hander Timmy LaChappa tossed a one-hit shutout to beat nationally-ranked UT Tyler in a 1-0 ballgame. LaChappa struck out three batters and allowed just a fourth-inning single in his seven-inning gem. He retired the final 10 batters to become the first pitcher to shut out the Patriots this season. It was just the fourth one-hitter in program history and first since 2017. On the week, LaChappa hurled nine shutout innings as he had two perfect innings with three strikeouts in a non-conference midweek game against Sul Ross State.
