Texas A&M International University junior infielder Ryan Flynn has been named Heartland Conference Hitter of the Week for games played Mar. 3-9. The announcement was made by the conference office on Tuesday.

Flynn earns the honor after hitting .700 (7 for 10) with six RBI and three runs scored to lead TAMIU to a three-game home sweep over Newman. He hit a sixth inning grand slam in the opening game that pushed the Dustdevils to an insurmountable 6-2 lead before contributing a third inning two RBI double in the second game that cut Newman's lead to 6-3 in a game TAMIU would prevail 10-6.
