HOUSTON â€" Houston Baseball sophomore Connor Wong notched his first career weekly honor, being named the American Athletic Conference Player of the Week after leading the Cougars to a series win over Baylor this past weekend at Darryl & Lori Schroeder Park.
The Pearland, Texas native hit .412 and slugged .824 during the four-game week. Along with his consistent bat, Wong hit two home runs in the series win, added a double on the week and drove in three RBI.
Not only did he produce runs, but he also led the Cougars with seven runs scored, hitting from the leadoff spot.
Wong has now reached base in all 11 games played this season and hit safely and scored at least one run in all four games this week, while also stealing two bases.
Houston's Seth Romero was named to the Weekly Honor Roll after pitching 8.0 shutout innings in two game appearances this week. The West Columbia, Texas native struck out eight and allowed just three hits.
The southpaw made his first start of 2016 on Sunday and improved to 1-0 with an 11-2 win over Baylor. He allowed just one hit and struck out four in 5.0 scoreless frames.
UCF's Robby Howell was named the league's Pitcher of the Week.
