WINTER PARK, Fla. – Nova Southeastern baseball’s
Carlos Asuaje (So., Weston, Fla.) has been named Sunshine State Conference Player of the Week, as announced by the conference office Monday.
The second baseman batted .571 with four runs and three RBI to keep the No. 12 Sharks in the SSC title hunt with three wins last week, including an SSC series victory over No. 7 Lynn.
Asuaje had two hits in all four games, posting a .611 on-base percentage from his leadoff spot. He had a double in the Sharks' 7-6 win over Lynn in the series opener and then blasted a home run in a 6-3 win over the Knights in the finale. He concluded the week with a .857 slugging percentage. Asuaje played error-free defense, while recording six putouts and 16 assists.
With six regular season games left, Asuaje is three doubles away from tying Guillermo Munoz’s single-season record of 24 doubles set in 1991. He is also attempting to become the third person in program history to bat over .400 with at least 100 at bats.
