PORTLAND, Ore. --- Portland sophomore outfielder Beau Brundage, who hit .563 during a four-game split with UC Irvine at Joe Etzel Field, is the Rawlings West Coast Conference Player of the Week. Brundage extended his hitting streak to a career-long 15 games, and he provided the game-winning, two-run single against the Anteaters on Sunday.

For the week, which also included a game at No. 1 Oregon State on Tuesday, Brundage was 10-for-20 (.500) with three doubles, three walks, seven RBI's, and three runs scored. During Portland's win over the Anteaters on Saturday, Brundage drove in three runs as the Pilots claimed a 6-3 victory.

The native of Buford, Ga., saved his best for Sunday, when he went 3-for-4 and provided a clutch, two-run single with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning. His hard-hit line drive to center field pushed the Pilots ahead 7-6, and they'd close out the win in the ninth to earn the series split. Brundage also stole a base, and he threw out two runners from center field.
