Owen Named SCAC Co-Player of the Week

SEWANEE, Ga. -- After taking 3 of 4 games from Trinity University in a crucial 4-game series at Twenty Field this past weekend, junior outfielder Hunter Owen has been named the SCAC Co-Player of the Week along with Rhodes College's Richard Hurd.

Owen batted an even .400 (10-for-25) in a 4-2 week for the 11th-ranked Majors, grabbing 24 total bases, 10 hits and nine RBIs off four homeruns and two doubles. 

Owen carried a 1.294 slugging percentage and a .529 average in the huge series against SCAC Western Division foe Trinity University, blasting all four of his homeruns on the week against the Tigers.

For the season, Owen is batting .407 (seventh in the SCAC) and slugging .805 (second) with a league-best 51 runs driven in. He also has 13 doubles (t-second in the SCAC), a league-high 10 homers and has crossed the plate 33 times (tied for seventh).

This marks the third time a Millsaps student-athlete has garnered the weekly award this season, with Owen landing on the ballot twice and senior Jason Hadley receiving the accolade once.
