MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Following Memphis' mid-week win over Mississippi Valley State and its weekend-series win over Youngstown State, a pair of Tigers earned American Athletic Conference (AAC) Weekly Honor Roll selections. Senior first baseman Anthony Hansen and junior left-handed pitcher JT Durham were both honored for their stand-out performances. Hansen and Durham become the second and third Tigers honored this season, joining Brayland Skinner.
Hansen batted .500 on the week (10-for-20) with a pair of home runs, three doubles and three RBI. He added five walks, scored seven runs and stole three bases. Hansen leads the AAC in on-base percentage (.595) and walks (12 – double the next most), and ranks second in hits (13), home runs (4), slugging percentage (.933) and total bases (28). The senior from Columbia, Mo., has an eight-game hitting streak going to begin his Tiger career.
Durham (1-0) made his second appearance and his first start of the season in the second game of Saturday's double header with Youngstown State and was dominant. The Memphis native tossed seven shutout innings and earned the win, allowing just four hits and two walks while striking out seven in Memphis' 3-1 win.
The Tigers hit the road for the first time this season on Tuesday to take on Central Arkansas (3-4) in Conway, Ark., at Bear Stadium at 4 p.m.
