Murray State outfielder Tyler Dixon has been named this week's Collegiate Baseball News/Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week and the ADIDAS OVC Player of the Week for his performance last week for the Racers against Kentucky State, Southern Illinois and Eastern Illinois.
In the five games, Dixon hit .619 (13-for-21), blasted five home runs and collected 12 RBIs. Dixon also scored nine runs and had four doubles on the week as well. Dixon tied a program and conference record Saturday in MSU's 31-11 win over Eastern Illinois, hitting four home runs in the rout. Dixon was 5-for-6 at the plate with six RBI and five runs on the day.
Dixon followed that record-breaking performance with another homer in Sunday's loss to EIU. Dixon began the week by going 4-for-5 with four doubles and four RBIs in the Racers' win over Kentucky State. The four doubles ties an OVC and school record for most single-game doubles.

For the week, Dixon had three multi-hit games and two multi-RBI games and collected at least one ribbie in four contests. Dixon slugged 1.524 and had an on-base percentage of .667 for the week as well.
