Bullock named SoCon Baseball Player of the Week

Western Carolina's Andrew Bullock has been named the Southern Conference player of the week, for all games May 9-15.

Bullock hit .545, slugged 1.455 and had an on-base percentage of .688 as the Catamounts took on Georgia and won a series from league-leading UNCG last week.

Bullock hit three home runs and a double, drew five walks, scored five runs and recorded seven RBIs. He opened the series Friday against UNCG by reaching base four times, drawing two walks and hitting a first-inning single and a three-run homer in the fifth as the Catamounts won 8-5. The next day, the Chesapeake, Va., native was 3-for-4 with three RBIs and four runs scored, hitting two more home runs and a double as WCU clinched the series with a 19-8 win. Bullock was on base three more times Sunday, walking twice and hitting an RBI single in the ninth.
