Hanson’s season-opening home run streak finally ended at five games, but the senior first baseman continued his hot hitting last week to land his third consecutive Akadema NEC Player of the Week award. Hanson batted .500 (14-for-28) with 10 RBI over a six-game span on the second leg of the Pioneers’ Florida trip. Sacred Heart’s No. 3 batter recorded multiple hits in every game on the week, but one (1-0 loss to BGSU), which also marked the only game thus far this season he failed to reach base. The right-handed power hitter opened the week with a 3-for-4 performance at the plate while driving in three runs in a 6-1 victory over Eastern Kentucky. Hanson ended the week just as hot as he started it. He produced six hits, two of which were home runs, as Sacred Heart scored 21 runs during the final two games of the trip. One of four Pioneers to homer in a 10-4 victory over Vermont, Hanson went 3-for-5 with a dinger, a double, and two RBI. Hanson, who is batting .553 in 11 starts this season, belted his seventh home run of the season as part of a three-hit, three-RBI day in a 12-11 loss to Army.
