BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana Baseball sophomore utility player Matt Lloyd was named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Hitter of the Week and Perfect Game's Player of the Week on Tuesday. The sophomore was one of Collegiate Baseball's National Players of the Week on Monday and the Big Ten Player of the Week.
Lloyd was effective in Indiana's 4-0 week as a hitter and a pitcher. He hit .643 on the week with nine hits, four home runs, two doubles, 10 RBI and six runs scored. The Canada-native also made three relief appearances, striking out four while tallying two saves. The sophomore had two, four-hit games in the series sweep at Northwestern and collected three home runs in game one of the series on Friday, marking the first time a Hoosier has accomplished the feat since Josh Phegley in 2009.
Lloyd kicked off the Northwestern series on Friday by going 4-for-5 in that first game with the three home runs, five RBI and three runs scored. He hit his fourth home run of the day in the second game of the Friday doubleheader. Lloyd capped off the series sweep with a 4-for-5 effort on Sunday, hitting two doubles, driving in two runs and scoring twice, while also picking up the save in that contest.
