Crittenberger was a spark plug all week in the leadoff spot for the Hilltoppers going 8-for-16 in four games as they swept their second straight C-USA series. The junior centerfielder recorded three multi-hit games over the weekend against Charlotte while totaling eight runs, five RBI and five stolen bases. In Friday’s win, he was 2-for-5 with three stolen bases while he notched two more hits on Saturday with a double and a RBI. On Sunday, he collected a three-hit day with three runs and two RBI. Crittenberger is top five in C-USA in runs (46), hits (59) and doubles (13), while being tied for first in stolen bases (18).
For the second time in 2023, Walton has been named Pitcher of the Week after hurling a complete game on Friday night against 25th-ranked UTSA. The senior right-hander scattered just two solo shots coming in the sixth and ninth inning while allowing four hits on the day and fanning three Roadrunner batters. Walton was perfect through the first four innings of work and his performance marks the second time this season he has pitched into the final frame.
