[Baseball] Heumann gets second league award

MOUNT PLEASANT, Iowa -- Junior left fielder Alex Heumann, who batted .688 in four games for the Mustangs, has been named the Midwest Collegiate Conference Baseball Player of the Week for the second time this season.

Heumann's week included a streak of 11 straight hits. After a walk in his first at-bat at Clarke on Wednesday, he singled in his next three appearances against the Crusaders and got hits in his first eight at-bats in Saturday's doubleheader versus St. Ambrose.

Heumann was 11-for-16 overall last week, with two doubles, a home run, five RBIs and six runs scored. He leads Mount Mercy (12-13, 4-6 MCC) with a .415 batting average and 15 runs batted in this spring. Heumann also has a team-high seven doubles and is second on the squad with six stolen bases.

The Mustangs host William Penn on Tuesday in an MCC doubleheader at 5:00 p.m. at Ken Charipar Field at Xavier High School.
