Warrick has been named the Heartland Conference Baseball Hitter of the Week for his performance during the Diamond Lions’ recent Rocky Mountain road trip.

And what a performance it was.

Warrick batted 0.500 with five home runs and 12 RBIs – all coming during UAFS’ five-game series against the Regis University Rangers at Regis Baseball Field in Denver, Colo. Warrick, who also scored seven times, compiled a 1.333 slugging percentage and a 0.526 on-base percentage.

Warrick hit home runs in four of the five games against Regis and hit two home runs in the series opener, going 2 for 3 with two home runs and four RBIs in a 5-2 win against the Rangers.

He accounted for almost half of the Diamond Lions’ 11 home runs during the six-game road trip that also included one game against Colorado School of Mines.

UAFS went 3-3 on the road trip and is 10-5 overall. The Diamond Lions will continue nonconference play this weekend when they play the Drury Panthers in a three-game series beginning at 4 p.m. on Friday at Meador Park in Springfield, Mo.
