Redshirt freshman Trey Kamachi, the Red Storm’s leading hitter after an eight-game road trip in the Bay Area, has been named this week’s Northwestern Mutual Male Athlete of the Week.
The Kapolei, Hawaii native was 14-for-30 (.467) with three doubles, a triple, a home run, 13 runs scored, and nine RBI as Dixie State took seven of eight games in Pacific West Conference play from Academy of Art and Holy Names.
Kamachi was involved in multiple game changing situations throughout the week, mainly by starting rallies with key hits and walks.
For Kamachi, this is his first Athlete of the Week award.
