Black helped Lee to a 3-1 week which included a GSC series win over Union as he went 6-for-12 (.500) at the plate with nine RBI and four runs scored. The redshirt-junior catcher had five extra-base hits as he tallied two doubles, a triple and two homers en route to slugging 1.333 and a .571 on-base percentage. In conference play, he was a combined 5-for-9 (.556) hitting. Black opened the three-game set with a double and home runs while scoring once and driving in seven RBI in the 13-2 win. He then doubled and tripled in the second game of the series as Lee won 7-6. Black opened the week with a 1-for-3 showing versus Tusculum as he finished with a walk, two runs scored and two RBI. This is his first GSC weekly award of the campaign, and Lee’s third GSC Player of the Week of year.
