IRVING, Texas – Charlotte's Jackson Mims has been named Conference USA's "Hitter of the Week" after opening weekend of the 2017 baseball season.

Mims began his Charlotte career with a double and RBI in each of his first two at-bats, added a single in his third at bat for three-straight hits and wrapped up the season opener 3-for-4 with his two doubles and two RBI in a 6-3 win for the Niners.
