Full MVC Release

EVANSVILLE - Earning his second honor of the day, University of Evansville baseball junior Tanner Craig has been named Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week, it was announced in a release by the conference office on Monday afternoon.

In a season-opening road series at Tennessee Tech, junior Tanner Craig had an incredible weekend. Craig finished the weekend batting .727 (8-11) with four home runs, seven RBI, a double, eight hits, three walks, including an intentional walk to end the weekend. Twice this weekend, Craig hit two home runs in a game, including back-to-back homers in Sunday's series finale that helped the Aces build a 10-2 lead. All last season, Craig hit just five home runs in 197 at bats and has nearly matched that mark in just 11 at bats.

The honor is the second of Craig's career and first MVC weekly award for the Aces since Craig received the MVC Player of the Week honor on April 1, 2019.
