Player of the Week
Bernie Socarras - Friends University
Sr. | INF | Hobbs, N.M.
Socarras batted .615 with a home run and 11 RBIs while posting a .684 on base percentage and slugging 1.077 to lead the Friends University Falcons to a perfect 4-0 record on the week and extend the team's winning streak to nine games. Socarras's homer was a three-run blast in the third inning that put the Falcons on top 3-0 of the series finale vs. Bethany, that they'd go on to win 13-1 and complete the sweep. Socarras leads the Falcons and is fourth in the KCAC in batting average (.401) along with six home runs, 48 RBIs and a team-high .526 on base percentage for the season. This is the second time this season Socarras has been named the KCAC Baseball Player of the Week.
