Wessels, a sophomore outfielder, hit .486 (13-of-27) with an .889 slugging percentage, a double, two triples, two home runs, nine RBIs and 12 runs scored as Buena Vista went 5-2 last week. He was 4-for-4 with a triple, a go-ahead 3-run home run, four RBIs and four runs scored in an 11-8 come-from-behind win over Gustavus Adolphus on March 24. His second home run of the week came in the top of the ninth inning of game four in the Luther series, extending BVU's lead to 9-6 before the Norse posted four runs in the bottom half of the frame to take the win. He leads all IIAC players in runs scored, ranks second in slugging percentage and is tied for fourth in RBIs. Wessels had only two triples, one home run and 23 runs scored all of last year.
