He connected on three home runs during his five-hit game which tied a school record. HOUSTON GETS SAC AND REGION PLAYER OF WEEK HONORS Blake Houston was tabbed not only as the SAC Player of the week on M/10, but also took home NCBWA All-Southeast Region Player of the Week accolades. The senior went 8-for-15 (.571) at the plate in the four wins and collected nine RBI.
