COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Utah junior first baseman C.J. Cron has been named Mountain West Conference Player of the Week. This is the second career weekly honor for Cron and the first this season.
Cron batted .529 (9-for-17) with five doubles, one home run, six RBI and three runs scored to help lead the Utes to a 3-1 record on the road last week.
The Phoenix, Ariz., native hit a two-run homer in the first inning in a win against UC Davis. He followed that with a pair of doubles in a 2-for-4 performance at Santa Clara. Against San Jose State, he went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a double. Cron closed out the weekend with three hits in a second win over Santa Clara. His bases-loaded, two-RBI double in the sixth inning gave Utah a three-run lead in the eventual 7-4 victory.
Cron finished the week with on-base and slugging percentages of .579 and 1.000, respectively. Defensively, he posted a .979 fielding percentage, recording 43 putouts with four assists and one error at first base.
Cron is hitting .477 for the season. He has had a hit in every one of Utah's games this season and has a 21-game hitting streak dating back to last year. Cron has five doubles, four home runs and 15 RBI.
Utah (5-7) opens its home season on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. against BYU in Spring Mobile Ballpark.
