4-8-08

Lewis-Clark State College senior first baseman Kyle Greene has been named the NAIA’s Region 1 Player of the Week for his performance in three games against Dixie State College last week in St. George, Utah. 

Greene, who is from Lewiston, became only the ninth player in NAIA history to hit two grand-slam home runs in a game. He accomplished that feat on Saturday in a 10-9 loss to Rebels. 

In the three-game series, Greene went 10-for-15 with 12 RBI and six runs scored. He had two doubles and three home runs to go along with five singles. He also drew one walk. For the series, he had a .667 batting average and a 1.400 slugging percentage. 

After starting the season 10-for-34, Greene has been on a tear since March 8 and has gone 37-of-65 at the plate for a .569 batting average in the last 18 games. During that time, he’s also had two or more RBI in 10 of those games and two or more hits in 12 games.
