No. 5 Baseball’s Gasparino named National Co-Hitter of the Week

AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Longhorns standout Will Gasparino garnered National Co-Hitter of the Week honors, as announced by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.

Gasparino — who was also tabbed Southeastern Conference Player of the Week — totaled a .553 average with five home runs, 13 RBI and a 2.188 OPS across the Longhorns' 4-0 stretch, highlighted by a sweep at Missouri.

The 6-foot-6, 225-pound outfielder left the yard in three of the four contests, recording two multi-homer efforts and three multi-hit performances.

After finishing 2-for-3 with an RBI double and a solo shot against Sam Houston, Gasparino joined elusive company in Texas' series opener against Missouri.
