Indianapolis, Ind. – Announced by the conference on Tuesday, May 3, Oakland redshirt senior right fielder Brenton Phillips was named the Nike #HLBASE Batter of the Week.

Phillips received the recognition for hitting .615 (8-13) in the Golden Grizzlies' three-game series victory over Milwaukee from April 29-May 1 with a home run, three runs scored, and five RBI.

On the season, the Georgia native and Akron Zips transfer has started 41 of Oakland's 42 games and ranks second on the team in batting average (.311), hits (47), and doubles (eight). His five home runs and 25 RBI are both third-best on the squad.

Entering the Wednesday, May 4 road clash against the Atlantic Coast Conference's (ACC) Pittsburgh Panthers, Phillips will be riding a season-long six-game hit streak, with multiple knocks in four of those contests.

He becomes the third Golden Grizzly to be named Nike #HLBASE Batter of the Week in 2022, joining junior outfielder Ian Cleary and graduate student second baseman Brad Goulet, who were honored on March 9 and April 5, respectively.
