Kendrick was named a National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball, and he was noted as part of the weekly Associated Press recap. The Springfield, Mo., native was also named the Horizon League Batter of the Week.

All five of Kendrick's hits in three games at the Riverview Inn Governors Challenge in Clarksville, Tenn., went for home runs, and he drove in 11 of YSU's 13 runs at the tournament. He hit a solo home run in the season opener against Austin Peay, and he followed that up with two homers - a solo shot and a three-run home run - against Indiana State on Saturday. He concluded the week by hitting a grand slam and a solo home run as part of a six RBI day against Illinois State.

In all fairness to Mr. Kendrick, I doubt many even know his first name! (seems the writer of the article posted by IAA didn't)  Good job Andrew, but apparently he still needs work of his bunting!
