Junior first baseman Scott Heineman was named Pac-12 player of the week Monday, after hitting .562 as the Ducks went 3-1 against ranked teams to play their way into the NCAA Tournament.
Heineman, who enters Oregon’s Springfield Regional appearance Friday hitting .289 for the season, had three hits in the Ducks’ midweek nonconference win at Oregon State on Tuesday. He then went 6-of-11 with two home runs as Oregon won two of three from No. 1 overall postseason seed UCLA over the weekend at PK Park.
The player of the week award is the second of Heineman’s career, the first having come in 2013.
