Missouri Western junior Grant Fink has been named named MIAA Baseball Hitter of the Week for the week April 10-16, as selected by a conference SID panel.

Fink has been impressive all season long but last week he was unstoppable. The junior from Spokane, Wash., had a hit in all six games, batting .520 on the week. Fink had more than one hit in five of the six games and nine of his 13 hits were for extra bases. Fink scored nine runs, including two or more twice and had 11 RBI with five in the Griffons’ 15-1 victory over the Gorillas.

Fink also had two home runs in that game with four on the week. Fink had five doubles, which included two in the Griffons’ 13-5 victory over PSU on Saturday. On the season, Fink is second on the team batting .349. He is second on the team with 44 hits, but leads the team with 12 doubles and is tied with seven home runs. He helped Western hit .417 as a team with 90 hits, 23 doubles, 6 triples, 14 home runs, 62 RBI and 68 runs scored. The Griffons had a .773 slugging percentage and a .458 on base percentage.

The Griffons return to action this weekend when they travel to Kirksville, Mo. to take on the Truman State Bulldogs in an MIAA doubleheader. The two teams will play the first game on Friday, April 20 with first pitch scheduled for 4:00 pm. The Griffons are 27-11 overall and 20-8 in MIAA play.
