4/21/2014 10:23:00 AM | Baseball
Junior second baseman hit .571 in five games for the Lopes
Grand Canyon University junior second baseman Chad De La Guerra has been named Western Athletic Conference Hitter of the Week, for games contested April 14-20. This is the second weekly honor for an Antelopes player, as David Walker was also tabbed as the conference's top hitter on March 10.
De La Guerra hit .571 (12-for-21), to lead Grand Canyon to a 3-2 record last week. He scored eight runs, including a career-best four runs in GCU's 12-5 win over at Northern Colorado on Saturday. He was just a single short of the cycle in that game, getting a triple, home run, and a double in that order.
De La Guerra had four doubles, two triples and a home run while also recording seven RBI in five games. He had back-to-back multi-hit games in the two contests at Kansas, going 3-for-4 with a run and two RBI in the win at Kansas on Tuesday, and followed that with a 2-for-4 performance in the following game against the Jayhawks. In the two games at Kansas, De La Guerra boasted a .875 slugging percentage and a .625 on-base percentage.
In the three games at Northern Colorado, his slugging percentage was an impressive 1.077, while he reached base with a .600 clip.
De La Guerra has now hit safely in eight straight games (16-for-33, .485), including five consecutive multi-hit games. He has also reached base safely in a team-best 15 straight contests.
The Lopes return to Brazell Stadium for a three-game WAC series against New Mexico State beginning on Friday at 6:30 p.m. The series will be broadcast live on Independent Talk 1100 AM KFNX (online at www.1100kfnx.com or via the TuneIn Radio app on any smartphone).
