[KFDM COOP]

FRISCO – Junior Collin DeLome, who helped Lamar University sweep

Texas-Arlington to open Southland Conference play over the weekend, was

named Aeropostale SLC Hitter of the Week on Monday, announced the league

office.

A native of Buna, DeLome hit .400 (8/20) with six runs scored, a double,

two triples, a home run and nine RBI in four games last week. In helping

Lamar sweep Texas-Arlington to open Southland Conference play, DeLome hit

.500 (6/12) with four runs scored, a double, two triples and five RBI in the

three-game series.

DeLome went 3-for-5 with two runs scored, a double and three RBI in Friday’s

11-3 win. He went 1-for-3 with a run scored, a triple and an RBI in

Saturday’s 4-1 win. He went 2-for-4 with a run scored, a triple and an RBI

in Sunday’s 5-0 shutout. His triple in Sunday’s game was the 19th of his

career, surpassing Greg Gravois of Nicholls State (1991-94), who held the

record at 18, as the SLC’s all-time leader.

DeLome also hit a grand slam home run in Monday’s first game of a

doubleheader against Louisiana Tech. For the season, DeLome is hitting .389

with 30 runs scored, six doubles, four triples, two home runs and 24 RBI. He

also leads the team with a .600 slugging percentage and has a .442 on-base

percentage.

DeLome, who earned the first hitter of the week award of his career, became

the second Lamar player to earn SLC hitter of the week honors, joining Brian

Lloyd, who earned the award on Feb. 19.

Thats great for him but I think we had a player that deserved it as well.

Bobby Verbick of Sam Houston: 7-for-11 with double, triple, and three home runs, 12 RBI

So Verbick hits .636 compared to DeLomes .400, has 2 more homeruns and 3 more RBI IN 9 LESS AT-BATS

He also hit for the cycle in one game!

I don't want to take anything away from DeLome he is a great player!
