After a stellar week of play in which Kentucky Baseball 1B Hunter Gilliam batted .619 (13-21) with five doubles, a triple, 11 RBI and 20 total bases, “Captain Gilly” was named Co-Southeastern Conference Player of the Week and Co-National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, one of the most respected outlets in all of college baseball.
In a week that saw the Bat ‘Cats go 5-0, Gilliam shined in the blue and white. In all five games, Gilliam knocked multiple base hits and recorded multiple RBI in four of the five games.
