Player of the Week
Adrian Villalobos - (RV) Kansas Wesleyan University
5-8 | Jr. | INF | Kelseyville, Calif.
VIllalobos had quite the week for the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes. He helped KWU extend its winning streak to 18 games after a sweep of the Saint Mary Spires in the weekend series. As the week went on, Villalobos got better and better. He went 2 for 4 with two runs against Sterling in a 10-1 win. Against Central Christian, he went 3-for-3 with a homer and 2 RBI. In the first Saint Mary game, he had two hits, both homers, driving in five runs to help KWU get the win. In the second USM game, he went 3 of 4, scoring four times while adding two more homers and driving in two runs. In the series finale, Villalobos again went 3 for 3, with a homer and a double and drove in six runs. His homer and double both came in the 10-run second inning for the Coyotes that turned a 5-0 deficit into a 10-5 lead. He drove in two more runs with a single during KWU's 7-run fourth inning. For the week his numbers were quite impressive, hitting .765 for the week (.714 in conference games) with a 1.929 conference SLG and a 1.941 overall SLG.
