He also led the Utes with a 1.043 slugging percentage on the week, while turning in a .577 on-base percentage. He started the week going 4-for-5 with a home run, a triple, three RBI and three runs scored in Utah's 22-3 win over Southern Utah. In the first game of the Air Force series, Shriner went 2-for-5 with a double and one run scored in a 5-2 Ute victory.

In the series finale, Shriner went 2-for-5 with two homers, three RBI and two runs scored in Utah's 12-4 victory.
