Kyle Niermann named HCAC Hitter of the Week

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 2, 2013 - 7:23pm

It may have been April 1, but it was certainly no April Fool's joke that senior standout Kyle Niermann (Napoleon) has been named the Heartland Conference Hitter of the Week.

The All-HCAC rightfielder went 8-of-12 (.667 BA) in Bluffton's first-ever series win over RHIT and scored five runs with one RBI. He hit two doubles last week to finish 8-of-16 (.500 BA).

In the process he became just Bluffton's second player to eclipse 200 career hits. His 212 career safeties are just three behind all-time leader Tyler Stephenson's 215.
