DALLAS (NCBWA) The National Collegiate
Baseball Writers Association released its final weekly
NCAA Division II National Players of the Week
awards of the 2015 season for the week ending on May 3. Lake
Erie third baseman Zak DeCamp is the National
Hitter of the Week while Missouri-St. Louis junior lefty
Kyle Wilson is the National Pitcher of the Week.
DeCamp (Gahanna, Ohio) homered in five consecutive games last
week as the Storm finished their regular season on a four-game
winning streak. For the week, DeCamp hit .565 (13-for-23) with
eight extra-base hits and 16 RBIs. DeCamp also scored 13 times
with a slugging percentage of 1.348. He also tallied five
multi-hit games, including a four-hit outing with five RBIs in
the season finale.
