Oklahoma baseball won five games last week and has a seven-game winning streak going before falling 7-5 to Illinois State in the series finale on Sunday.

Tanner Tredaway batted .500 and collected eight extra-base hits last week as the Sooners went 5-1, and was named Big 12 Player of the Week.

The junior outfielder had 12 hits in 24 plate appearances, scored seven times and drove in six runs in the six games. His eight extra-base hits consisted of three doubles, three triples and two home runs. His slugging percentage for the week was 1.125.

He led all Big 12 players last week in five offensive categories: hits (12), triples (3), total bases (27), runs scored (7) and home runs (2).

Tredaway leads the Sooners with a .405 batting average, 30 total bases and an .811 slugging percentage through nine games. His .410 on-base percentage is second best on the team.

This is Tredaway’s second season at Oklahoma. He played in 48 games a year ago, 40 as a starter, and batted .260 with 10 RBI and no home runs. He played his freshman season at Seminole (Florida) State College.

The Oklahoma junior was one of four Big 12 Players honored for performances last week. Besides Tredaway, TCU’s Johnny Ray was named Pitcher of the Week, and unior Everhett Hazelwood, a pitcher for Kansas, and Oklahoma State freshman outfielder Caeden Trenkle are Co-Newcomers of the Week.

This is Tredaway first Big 12 weekly award and the first for the Sooners this season.

Oklahoma travels to Houston this weekend to play in the Shriners’ Hospitals for Children College Classic. The Sooners will play three teams out of powerful SEC: 5th-ranked Arkansas on Friday, Missouri on Saturday and 12th-ranked LSU on Sunday.
