TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State baseball's Luis Hernandez was named this week's Mark Clinkenbeard Construction ISU Student-Athlete of the Week as announced by the athletic department on Monday afternoon.
 
Hernandez hit safely in all three games over the weekend on his way to hitting a team-high .462 from the plate with five RBI, five runs scored, and a home run. The junior utility player drove in the go-ahead runs in both Sunday games, while answering a Florida A&M rally with a home run in the opener to pace ISU to its first series sweep of the year.
 
Hernandez opened the weekend lining up at first base against the Rattlers. He connected on a solo home run to answer FAMU's rally and give ISU the 5-1 lead in the eventual 8-4 victory over the Rattlers. He added the go-ahead two-run single in the top of the second inning completing a four-run Sycamore rally in ISU's 7-2 win over FAMU.
 
He wrapped up the weekend in the series finale going a perfect 4-for-4 from the plate scoring four runs while driving in two in the 15-0 win over the Rattlers. He drove in the first run of the game with a single and added another RBI in the seventh inning to give Indiana State the 10-0 lead in the win.
 
He currently leads ISU in batting average (.333), hits (19), and runs (13), while sitting third in RBIs (13).
 
The Mark Clinkenbeard Construction ISU Student-Athlete of the Week will be announced every Monday afternoon throughout the 2023-24 athletic season.
