PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
HITTER
Cody Bower, Cameron University, SR, Outfield, Albuquerque, N.M., St. Dius X HS
Bower led CU to a 3-1 record against Southwestern Oklahoma State this past weekend. His slash line for the
four game series was .632/.632/1.421, while driving in 10 runs and scoring nine of his own. Seven of Bower’s 12
hits were for extra bases, including two doubles, two triples, and three homers. The highlight of the series was
when he went 6-6 with five runs, seven RBI, two triples, and three homers in the opening game of the series.
His three homers and seven RBI in the game were the most by an Aggie since Codey McElroy did it in 2014. He
also matched Lone Star Conference records for homers in a game.
PITCHER
Marshall Kasowski, West Texas A&M University, JR, RHP, Conroe, Texas, Oak Ridge HS
Kasowski tossed a complete game, one-hit, run-rule shutout in a 15-0 win in the series opener versus
Northwestern Oklahoma State Friday evening...Kasowski set a career-high with 14 strikeouts in the game and
it was his second win of the season and second-straight game of tossing a one-hitter. For the season he is 2-0
with a 0.00 ERA, allowing 2 hits, walking five and fanning 21 as teams are hitting .054 against him. The lone hit
came on a bunt early in the game as the Rangers were completely stymied offensively by Kasowski.
OTHER TOP PERFORMERS
Jacob Boston, Angelo State University, was unstoppable at the plate in three games against Southeastern
Oklahoma State, hitting .583 in his 12 plate appearances. The Arizona native hit a triple in game one, two home
runs in game two and another home run in game three, racking up 18 total bases over the course of just three
games. With runners on base, Boston hit an other-worldly .714, driving in nine runs and scoring three of his
own on the weekend.
Francisco Rodriguez, Tarleton State University, helped Tarleton take 2 out of 3 on the road against St. Mary’s
by recording a team-best five hits in the series. Rodriguez hit .455 for the week and scored five runs, had three
doubles, a home run and four RBI. In game two of the series, Rodriguez hit a leadoff home run in the top of the
fifth to break a 4-4 tie and was the first of five unanswered runs over the last three innings for the Texans en
route to a 9-4 win.
Troy LaBrie, West Texas A&M University, continued his hot start to the season, going 6 for 14 in three starts
behind the dish for the Buffs in the team’s second sweep of the season. LaBrie hit .429 for the series with three
runs scored, one double, a team-high two home runs and team-best nine RBI. LaBrie slugged .929 and reached
base at a .429 clip with no strikeouts. Prior to this season, LaBrie hadn’t had a home run in a WT uniform and
now leads the team with three round-trippers in six games.
Eddie Avila, Tarleton State University, as the closer, threw 2.2 scoreless innings in relief with only one hit and
five strikeouts and a save in the second game of the 3-game series against St. Mary’s. Avila came on in relief in
game two and delivered with a five-out save and striking out three. Opponents hit .111 against Avila in the two
appearances.
