Colin Lynam of Wayne State College was named the Northern Sun Conference Baseball Player of the Week Monday afternoon following his play in series vs. Minnesota Duluth and Bemidji State last week. It's the second time in his Wildcat career (3/7/22) that Lynam has collected NSIC Player of the Week honors.
A 6-0, 185-pound junior outfielder from Springfield (Platteview HS/Northeast CC), Lynam posted a .632 batting average last week going 12 for 19 with two home runs, two triples, three doubles and 13 RBIs. He had four multi-hit games in five contests with a 1.316 slugging percentage.
Lynam went 3 for 5 with five RBI in a 22-2 win over Minnesota Duluth Tuesday. He was also 2 for 4 with a triple in a 9-7 win over UMD and a perfect 4 for 4 with two doubles, a homer, four RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 16-6 win over Bemidji State.
For the season Lynam has a .360 average and leads WSC with seven home runs and 35 RBI. He is third in the league in triples (3), fourth in RBIs and ninth in slugging percentage (.699).
Wayne State, 14-15 overall and 8-7 in the NSIC, hosts Minot State Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. in an NSIC doubleheader at the Pete Chapman Baseball Complex in Wayne.
