SUWANEE, Ga. -- Hunter Owen of Millsaps College, a 6-foot-3, 210-pound senior outfielder from Jackson, Miss., has been named the SCAC Offensive Baseball Player of the Week for games played Monday, March 16 through Sunday, March 22.

Owen is the second Major to be named SCAC Player of the Week this season, with teammate Will Hawkins being named twice back in Weeks 1 and 3.  The weekly award for Owen is the first for him this season and the fourth of his stellar Millsaps career.

He boosted his batting average .042 points this past week with a .615 week at the plate (8-for-13) that included four RBI off three doubles, a triple and a home run. He also grabbed 16 total bases with a 1.231 slugging percentage and .706 on-base percentage as Millsaps went 3-1 to improve to 22-3 overall. 

In addition, Owen's three doubles during the week gave him 52 for his career, moving him into third all-time at Millsaps -- just four behind a new school record. 

On the year, Owen leads the team with a .442 average to go along with eight home runs.
