OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma City University center fielder Cross Factor has been named Sooner Athletic Conference Player of the Week for the second time in three weeks.
 
The senior from Yukon is one of the top hitters in NAIA baseball and has played a major role in propelling the Stars to a 17-1 start.
 
Last week, Factor helped lead OCU to a 6-0 record by contributing a .565 batting average (13-for-23) with two doubles, six home runs, nine RBIs, 12 runs scored and a 1.435 slugging percentage. He hit what would prove to be a game-winning two-run shot in the top of the ninth inning in Tuesday's 12-11 win at Central Baptist (Ark.).
 
Factor ranks second in the NAIA with 11 homers, third in slugging percentage (1.200), sixth in batting average (.533), seventh in total bases (72) and eighth in on-base percentage (.600) this season.
 
Factor and his teammates were scheduled to host Oklahoma Wesleyan on Tuesday at Jim Wade Stadium but that doubleheader has been pushed back to 6 p.m. March 28. The Stars are now scheduled to return to action 2 p.m. Thursday against Southwestern Christian at home.
