JACKSON – Sophomore first baseman Chase Clark of Northwest has been named the MACJC and NJCAA Baseball Player of the Week for games played Monday, March 3 through Sunday, March 9.

The weekly conference honor is the first of Clark's career and he is the second consecutive Ranger to earn the award, joining former Bruce High School teammate Jay King.

Clark was 6-for-9 with a double, two home runs and four RBIs in a doubleheader split with previously unbeaten Jones County, the new No. 1 in this week's NJCAA Top 20 Poll. The sophomore went a career-high 5-for-5 in the 7-1 game one win, the Bobcats' first loss of the year. He also slugged 1.444 with 13 total bases.  

In 12 starts this season, Clark is hitting .368 with three doubles, two home runs, nine RBIs and 12 runs scored.
