Hockemeyer Chosen DAC Hitter of Week

IRVING, Texas – Dallas College Richland's Nick Hockemeyer was selected as the Dallas Athletic Conference Hitter of the Week.

It is the second time this season he has been chosen for the award.

A freshman outfielder from Fort Wayne, Indiana, Hockemeyer batted 9-for-14 for a .643 average, with three home runs, two doubles, 11 runs batted in and six runs scored as No. 5 Richland swept a three-game series from Dallas College Cedar Valley last week. He had three hits in each of the Thunderducks' three wins, homered once in the opener, twice in the finale and doubled twice in the middle game. Hockemeyer drove in a season-high six runs in the 26-10 Game 3 series final game, and had two or more RBI in all three games. His home runs were his first of the season. 

Hockemeyer is hitting .406, with 16 doubles and 45 RBI.

Richland (26-11, 12-3) will open the second half of league play at Dallas College Mountain View (11-20, 1-14) at noon Wednesday.
