CINCINNATI -- The University of Cincinnati's Josh Harrison (Cincinnati, OH/Princeton) was named BIG EAST Conference Player of the Week for his play on the baseball diamond this past week. The junior second baseman was a perfect 10-for-10 at the plate in the three-game set at Louisville.
On the week, Harrison was 13-for-21 (.619) at the plate, including eight runs scored and five runs batted in. The speedy infielder was successful on six out of seven stolen base attempts. He displayed his power by belting a home run and a double at Louisville to post an .810 slugging percentage.
