MIDWAY, Ky. - A monster weekend performance has earned Midway's Nick Eastham a River States Conference Player of the Week Award.

Eastham captured the honor after an electrifying three-game series against Brescia over the weekend, in which he went 9-for-13 at the plate with nine RBIs, six runs scored and five extra base hits.

He followed up a 4-for-4 performance on Saturday by hitting two three-run home runs in the first game of a doubleheader Sunday. Eastham had the walk-off, run-rule clinching hit in each game, both 15-5 Eagle wins.

It is the first ever weekly award for Eastham and the second honor won by a Midway player this year, following Owen Clark's Pitcher of the Week designation on Feb. 26. This is the first time an Eagle has won Player of the Week in almost a calender year, with Grant Hotchkiss being the last recipient on April 18 of last year.

Midway is currently on a six-game win streak and has guaranteed itself a home series when the RSC Tournament begins on April 26. 

Before they travel to Indiana Kokomo to conclude the conference portion of their regular season schedule, the Eagles will face a very tough task Tuesday when they host NAIA No. 4-ranked Cumberlands (Ky.) at 3 p.m.
