Texas Lutheran's Tyler Post named SCAC Hitter of the Week

SEGUIN, Texas -- Tyler Post, a freshman first baseman/designated hitter from San Antonio, Texas, has been named the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Baseball Hitter of the Week for games played from Monday, March 9 through Sunday, March 15. 

Post homered twice, reached base four times, and drove in three as the Bulldogs defeated DeSales (Pa.) 16-3 on Tuesday.

Post hit a solo home run in the middle of TLU's three consecutive home runs in the second inning and then belted a two-run in the sixth to slug 4.000 on the day. He also had a pair of walks and two runs scored.

With Tuesday's perfect effort, Post raised his average to .385 and his RBI total to 13 in 12 games played.

TLU has had three of the six award winners for SCAC Baseball Hitter of the Week in 2020. Alex Cornman was the Week 2 winner, and Tyler Cauley was the Week 5 winner.

TLU Baseball's season has been suspended indefinitely due to the COVID-19 health threat. The NCAA and the SCAC have canceled spring championships for the 2020 season.

The NCAA announced last week that all student-athletes will receive an extra season of eligibility with the 2020 seasons being cut short.

Other Outstanding Performances in the SCAC:
Senior outfielder Byron Dowdell II of Southwestern, in what could possibly be the last game of his collegiate career, went 3-for-5 with consecutive home runs to plate four RBIs and score three runs, finishing the week hitting .333 to help the Pirates go 2-0. Senior outfielder Rafe Chaumette of Trinity finished off his season with two multi-hit games, leading fifth-ranked Trinity to a 3-0 record last week. The senior went 6-for-9 (.667) with three doubles and five runs scored in his two games played. He went 4-for-5 with three doubles and three runs scored in Monday's win over New Jersey City, then went 2-for-4 with two runs scored to close out his season. He also stole three bases in the two games.
