University of Memphis junior first baseman T.J. Rich was named Conference USA hitter of the week and freshman pitcher Sam Moll earned C-USA co-pitcher of week, the league announced Monday.
Rich helped the Tigers clinch the series against No. 14-ranked Southern Miss by going 9-for-17 (.529 average) with two home runs and eight RBIs. Rich reached base in 12 of his 17 at-bats on the week and only struck out three times. After entering the weekend batting .300, Rich raised his batting average to .345 on the year. Rich is batting .480 with 10 RBIs in conference play.
In his third career start, Moll pitched a strong game against rival Ole Miss. The lefty struck out eight batters in seven innings of work and allowed just two walks. He struck out the side in the third inning following a two-out single and allowed just two base runners to reach scoring position in seven innings of work. Moll collected his second-straight midweek victory with the win, improving to 2-1 on the season.
This week's awards are Rich and Moll's first weekly honors, but it marks the third for the team overall this season.
U of M sophomore pitcher Dan Langfield earned C-USA Pitcher of the Week honors on Feb. 28.
Moll will make his fourth start on Tuesday as the Tigers host Arkansas State at FedExPark. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m.
