For the first time this season, an Oklahoma State baseball player received one of the Big 12's weekly awards.
Christian Funk, a senior third baseman from Fresno, California, is the Big 12 Conference Baseball Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday. A group of five media members chooses the weekly honorees.
Although the Cowboys (21-13 overall, 7-5 Big 12) dropped a road series against Kansas 2-1 during the past weekend, Funk had success at the plate.
When OSU shellacked the Jayhawks 27-6 on Friday, he and Trevor Boone became the 12th and 13th Cowboys to hit three home runs in a game.
