PORTLAND, Ore. - The GNAC announced the weekly award winners for April 21-27 on Monday afternoon, with Northwest Nazarene baseball's
Nin Burns II earning Player of the Week.
In a 5-0 week against Saint Martin's, Nin was a terror at the plate as he hit .611 with a .708 on-base percentage and 1.667 slugging percentage. The outfielder had 11 hits in 18 at-bats, including three doubles, two triples, and four home runs as nine of the 11 were for extra bases. He scored 13 runs, drove in 10 runs, walked five times and had two stolen bases. He homered in four of the five games, and in the only game without a homer he was 3-for-4 with two doubles and a triple. He scored three times each in four of the five games and drove in multiple runs in 3 of 5.
Burns II and the Nighthawks have a bye this weekend during the last week of the regular season, and will now set their sights on the GNAC Championships as the top seed. The tournament will take place May 8-9 in Ellensburg, Washington.
