RICHARDSON, Texas – Jonatan Clough of Eastern New Mexico Baseball has been named Lone Star Conference Hitter of the Week after an outstanding weekend performance, as announced by the conference office on Tuesday.

The first-year outfielder was at the center of the Hounds hitting, with ENMU completing a 4-0 sweep of Oklahoma Christian. In total, the Dominican Republic native registered a .600 BA/ .680 OBP/ 1.600 SLUG, nine hits, smashed four home runs, and accounted for 19 RBIs. The Hounds left fielder inspired fear into opposing pitchers, frequently causing an infield shift, and being intentionally walked four times.

Clough started the series with a bang, recording a single, triple, and home run, and drove in nine runs in Eastern's 22-21 walk-off win. His nine RBIs tied a program record, with Derrick Kennedy also bringing in nine runs in 2008 against West Texas A&M (4/25). After posting a hit in ENMU 7-6 walk-off win, Clough finished 3-3 at the plate (single, double, and home run), while scoring five runs and being intentionally walked twice in the Greyhounds 18-14 victory over the Eagles. In the series finale, Clough crushed two home runs and finished with five RBIs, during a 6-4.

With his first home run in the series finale, Clough set a new single season home run record which was previously held by Steve Marquez (12) in 1995 and 1996. Clough currently leads the Hounds in RBIs (56), doubles (10), home runs (14), slugging percentage (.738), and total bases (110). Clough is top five in the conference for home runs (14, 2nd), RBIs (56, 4th), and triples (4, 5th).

Clough is the first Greyhound to win a weekly award this season, and the second hitter to receive the accolade in the Riley Price era. Spencer Roach was the last Greyhound to win the honor (3/15/21), and he went on to win National Collegiate Baseball Writer Association (NCBWA) South-Central Region Hitter of the Week.

Clough and the Greyhounds play a four-game series this weekend on the road against St. Mary's University. The series begins on Friday, Apr. 21, is scheduled for a single nine inning game beginning at 5 p.m., Saturday, Apr. 22, two seven inning games will be played starting at 1 p.m., and the series finale will be a nine-inning game on Sunday, Apr. 23, with first pitch at 12 p.m.
