Brown has a .352 batting average on the season, which ranks No. 8 among all C-USA hitters. That figure gets better when filtered for conference games. Brown’s hitting .400 in C-USA play, second in the league only to teammate Steven Kraft (.404).
Brown enters WKU’s home series this weekend against Florida International having recorded 15 multi-hit games over the Toppers’ last 25 contests.
