jsugamecocksports -  For the third straight week of the baseball season, Jacksonville State has claimed one of the weekly Ohio Valley Conference honors as Nic Gaddis was named the league's top player after a hitting .667 for the week.

The junior catcher paced the Gamecocks to a 3-1 record in the four-game road trip against UAB last Tuesday and over the weekend in Miami, Florida for a three-game series with Florida International.  JSU won the series with FIU after registering a pair of extra-inning wins on Friday and Saturday.

Gaddis, from Trenton, Georgia, was instrumental for Jax State in the four games offensively and behind the plate.  He finished the week 10-for-15 and reached base 13 times in 18 plate appearances.  Gaddis strung together eight consecutive hits over the final two games of the FIU set, including a 6-for-6 day at the plate in JSU's 13-6, 10-inning win over the Panthers on Saturday.  

He also delivered six RBI in the contest and had the eventual game-winning RBI in Friday's extra inning affair. Gaddis started Sunday with a double, plating his 10th RBI of the week and eighth of the weekend, including a pair of doubles versus FIU. He was walked three times and only struck out once in the four games.
