Weekly Award To Hoffpauir

STANFORD, Calif. -- Stanford’s Zach Hoffpauir homered three times and had three multi-hit games to earn the Pac-12 Conference's Player of the Week honors, the conference office announced Tuesday.

Hoffpauir, who recently returned from injury, slugged three homers in the series victory at California and hit at a .421 clip over five games. He drove in six of his 10 weekly RBI on Saturday in a wild 11-10 victory for the Bears. The two-sport star, Hoffpauir homered in the eighth and ninth innings to help tie the game at 10-10. He also drove in three as part of a three-hit afternoon on Sunday, which included a double and a homer. In 10 games Hoffpauir is hitting .263, with all of his homers and RBIs coming this past weekend.

Washington State’s Joey Pistorese earned the Pitcher of the Week award. The senior lefthander pitched a six-hitter, struck out eight and walked one, and allowed three runs against Washington. Pistorese has secured four complete games this season, tying him for the national lead. The Southpaw is 5-3 with a 2.73 ERA over nine starts.

Stanford’s Andrew Summerville was mentioned in the Pitcher of the Week conversation. The freshman lefty threw 11 innings without allowing an earned run during the week in two victories. He was no-hit Pacific over five innings Tuesday to earn the Sunday start at Cal, where he went six innings and allowed just four hits.
