Klemm collects accolade

UC Irvine senior outfielder Chris Klemm was selected Big West Player

of the Week after helping UC Irvine to its first baseball series win

in a month.

The Anteater outfielder batted .462 (6 for 13) with three runs

scored and three RBIs, including a home run during the week. In the

rubber match on Sunday against UC Santa Barbara, Klemm went 2 for 4

with two runs scored and three RBIs, including a two-run homer in

UCI’s 6-4 victory.

Klemm had two hits in each of the three games he played and he

leads the Anteaters with a .350 batting average. He also leads the

team in hits (42), triples (four) and home runs (three). He is the

second Anteater to earn the honor this season.
