On Sunday, the Junior Rex beat the Hurricanes 4-3 in extra innings, the Louisville Bats 10-4 and the Pony Express 11-6 before losing to the Indiana Blazers in the championship game. An ankle injury to Latta forced the team to finish the last game with just eight players.

Next action for the team is May 5-6 at Indianapolis.

• Four Engineers honored — Rose-Hulman student-athletes combined for four Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors, the HCAC announced Monday.

Rose swept the awards in women’s track and field, with Creasy Clauser the Track Athlete of the Week and Liz Evans the Field Athlete of the Week.

Sutton Coleman was Track Athlete of the Week on the men’s side, and Andrew Benitez was Hitter of the Week in baseball.

Benitez batted .571 with a team-high .786 slugging average and perfect fielding in 26 attempts at second base to help Rose-Hulman finish 3-1 last week. He was 8 for 14 at the plate with three doubles, five runs, two RBIs, 12 putouts and 14 assists.

Clauser set a school record in the 400-meter dash with a time of 58.35 seconds, then helped the 4-x-100 relay team place second and the 4-x-400 relay team finish third at the 15-team Rose-Hulman Twilight Meet. She is currently ranked No. 1 in the conference in the 400.

Coleman swept the 110- and 400-meter hurdles titles at the same meet, setting a Cook Stadium record with a time of 14.57 in the 110 hurdles before winning the 400 hurdles with a mark of 53.06. He also anchored the winning 4-x-400 relay team to a time of 3:19.95.

Evans won the women's high jump at 5-feet-9 1/4 that ranks among the national leaders this spring and also topped a field of 15 pole vaulters in the 15-team event.
