BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – For the second time this season, Jacksonville State junior Josh Bobo has been named the Co-Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week after delivering 10 RBI in JSU's series win over Murray State.

Bobo garnered his first weekly honor on March 21 after guiding the Gamecocks to a weekend sweep of Austin Peay.  He shared that honor with Southeast Missouri's Hunter Leeper and this week shares the achievement with Tennessee Tech's Kevin Strohschein.

The third baseman from Attalla, Alabama, matched a two JSU program records for a single game in the Gamecocks 22-7 rout of the Racers on Saturday.  Bobo belted three home runs and added a double and a single on his stat line on the day and finished 5-fot-6 on the day and drove in eight RBI.  He matched JSU's all-time record for home runs in a game and equaled the program's Division I record for RBI in a game with his eight runs.  Bobo added two more RBI in the Sunday contest to get the Gamecocks within striking distance late in the game.

He became the fifth Gamecock all time to record three home runs in a contest and the first since former JSU standout Ben Waldrip accomplished the feat on April 28, 2012.  Bobo is the fourth player in JSU's Division I tenure to have three home runs in a game.  He joins his former high school coach at Etowah High School as Larry Foster was the first Gamecock to hit three round trippers in a game back in 1973 against UAB.  Bobo became the fourth Gamecock to register eight home runs on the Division I level and the first since Scott Smith against Eastern Kentucky and versus Alabama that season.  Jeff Tidwell (1998) and Roby Brooks (1997) also had eight RBI in a single game. 

Jax State and Troy renew the long-standing rivalry between the two schools on Tuesday with a 6 p.m. contest in Troy.  Following the midweek action, the Gamecocks will travel to Tennessee Tech for a key OVC weekend series, beginning on Friday, April 15.
