TOLEDO, Ohio – Trace Hatfield has been named Mid-American Conference Co-Player of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday.

Hatfield fueled a Toledo offensive attack that led to a series sweep over Akron this past weekend. Hatfield hit .600, slugged 1.067, and hit two home runs while tallying eight RBIs in the Rockets' weekend series against the Zips. He drove in two runs in the series opener on Friday to help Toledo start the weekend off with a win, then exploded in Saturday's doubleheader. Hatfield was a combined 7-for-8 with two home runs, five RBIs, and five runs scored in the two games on Saturday. He ended the weekend by reaching base three times in Sunday's run-rule victory. At one point during the series, Hatfield had reached base safely in seven straight at-bats.  

Hatfield ranks inside the Top 10 in the MAC in three offensive categories: he is tied for second in hits (38), tied for fourth in doubles (9), and tied for eighth in RBIs (22).

After winning all four contests against the Zips, Toledo has now won six straight games and nine of its last 10.

The Rockets will look to stay hot this weekend at Eastern Michigan. The four-game series in Ypsilanti will begin on Friday at 6:00 p.m.
