KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Pittsburg State University senior outfielder Dagen Brewer was selected as the NCAA Division II National Hitter of the Week Thursday (Apr. 9) by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers of America (NCBWA).

Brewer slashed .700/.750/2.300 in three games last week, while etching his name into the Pitt State and MIAA record books. The Topeka native smashed four home runs, scored five runs and compiled 10 RBI in the Gorillas 21-7 win over Fort Hays State Friday (Apr. 3). Brewer tied Pitt State's single game marks for runs scored and home runs and he surpassed the school record in RBI. He tied MIAA records for HRs and RBI.

For the week, Brewer had six extra base hits - a double and five HRs - among his seven hits and he totaled 13 RBI overall. Brewer, who was named MIAA Hitter of the Week Monday and NCAA-II Central Region Hitter of the Week Wednesday, leads the conference in batting average (.460), home runs (18), RBI (72), slugging (1.040) and on-base percentage (.580).
 
This marks the second time this season Brewer has been selected the NCAA Division II National Hitter of the Week by the NCBWA.
