Saint Louis junior outfielder Michael Bozarth has been named the Atlantic 10 Conference baseball Player of the Week for the week ending May 17. It is Bozarth’s second honor of the season, and the 10th time this season a Billiken has earned a weekly conference accolade.
Bozarth was SLU’s top hitter this weekend, leading the Billikens to their fourth consecutive Atlantic 10 regular season championship. In the three-game series at Saint Joseph’s, he was 8-13 with a .688 on-base percentage and a 1.615 slugging percentage. Bozarth tallied four home runs, a double, seven runs scored and nine RBIs. He finished the regular season with an A-10 leading .403 batting average.
The Billikens are the top seed in this week’s Atlantic 10 Conference Championship in Arlington, Va. Saint Louis will take on the winner of Wednesday’s VCU/Davidson game at 12:30 p.m. (CT) on Thursday.
