Hawai'i Hilo Vulcans Athletics

Senior outfielder Dylan Sugimoto earns the award for his work over a long weekend--one in which the Vulcans swept Holy Names, as the red-hot team won their 12th straight game. Sugimoto, who was one of 13 seniors honored after Monday's game, raised his batting average 36 points in the four games to .333. He went a scorching 7-for-11 in the four games, scored four times, drove in three runs, hit a double and walked four times. In the series opening win, he hit a two-bagger in the bottom of the ninth that helped jump start a four-run rally in a 5-4 comeback win. On the year, the scholar athlete is tied for the team lead in runs scored (29) and stolen bases (9-10), leads in on-base percentage (.438) and is second in batting average (.333). The Vulcans, 22-15 overall and 18-10 in the PacWest, head to Point Loma this weekend with second place in the conference on the line.
