KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Fort Hays State third baseman Trey DeGarmo has been named the latest MIAA Hitter of the Week, announced Monday by the league office.
The senior was crucial in four wins over ranked opponents last week, totaling four home runs, 11 RBI, seven runs and nine hits in 16 at-bats (.563 average). DeGarmo posted a slugging percentage of 1.313 across the four games and reached base at a .611 clip.
The Andover, Kan. native extended his hitting streak to 10 games in the process, clubbing at least one home run in three of the four games this week. DeGarmo wrapped up a series win against No. 25 Missouri Southern with a walk-off grand slam to complete a run-rule victory last Monday before delivering a walk-off single in extra innings of the series opener against Central Oklahoma on Friday.
DeGarmo added three more home runs over the weekend against the Bronchos, including two long balls and five RBI in Saturday's 13-12 win. The reigning MIAA Gold Glove winner was also stellar in the field, recording 10 assists and three putouts on 13 total chances at the hot corner.
The league-leading Tigers have now had three players earn weekly conference honors this season (Elliott Herrmann and Cade Flaherty), more than any other school in the league.
Fort Hays State will hit the road for the first time in nearly a month this week when they open a midweek series against Washburn on Tuesday before traveling to take on Pittsburg State this weekend.
