Thanks to a historic performance in a doubleheader Friday, Oklahoma State first baseman Christian Funk was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week on Monday.
Funk hit .357 with two home runs, a double and eight RBIs on the week, doing most of his damage Friday against Kansas. In OSU's 12-1 victory to open the doubleheader, Funk, a junior from Fresno, California, hit two homers, including a grand slam, and drove in seven runs, the most RBIs by a Cowboy since 2009. Funk added another RBI in the day's second game and scored the winning run in OSU's 4-3 victory.
