KWU Sports Information
WICHITA — Haydn Brown (SR/Gardnerville, Nev.) of No. 22 Kansas Wesleyan University has earned the KCAC Baseball Player of the Week honor, the conference office announced Monday. Student-athletes are selected for their performances from April 24-30 by a vote of conference sports information directors. All KCAC Player of the Week honors are presented by Equity Bank.
Brown had an incredible weekend for the Coyotes, helping KWU go 3-0 and clinch the program's first KCAC Regular-Season Championship since the 2011 season.
In three games, Brown went 9-of-11, batting .818, and had a .857 on-base percentage. He slugged at 2.273 for the week. He just missed the cycle in the second game of the series, only needing a single. He drove in 10 runs on the week, homered in every game, and twice on Sunday. His second homer of the day broke a 4-4 tie as the Coyotes pulled away in the final three innings for the win to clinch the conference.
Kansas Wesleyan is the No. 1 seed in the KCAC Baseball Tournament that begins on Wednesday at the Great Bend Sports Complex in Great Bend. KWU will play on Wednesday evening at 7 p.m., taking on the winner between No. 4 seed Ottawa and No. 5 seed Oklahoma Wesleyan.
