Van Houten earns Pac-10 award

Arizona sophomore Jeff Van Houten has been named the Pac-10 baseball Player of the Week. The honor is the second of the season for Van Houten and the fifth weekly award for an Arizona player/pitcher this season.

Van Houten garnered his second recognition of the year, and his career, for his 9-for-13 weekend against Miami (Ohio). The second-year starter batted .692 with two triples, his seventh home run of the season, five runs scored and a team-high eight RBIs. He posted a .714 on-base percentage and tallied a 1.231 slugging percentage in helping Arizona win its final non-conference series of the season. In Sunday's 9-4 win, he finished 3-for-4 with a career-high-tying six RBIs and needed just a double to hit for the cycle. He was recognized by the Pac-10 previously this season for the week of March 10-17. [Read article]
