Texas’ Ivan Melendez (Player), Texas Tech’s Brandon Birdsell (Co-Pitcher), Oklahoma State’s Justin Campbell (Co-Pitcher) and Oklahoma’s Blake Robertson (Newcomer) were selected for Big 12 Baseball weekly honors for games ending April 24, as selected by a five-person media panel.
 
Melendez launched five home runs in five games, batting .500 with 11 RBI, nine runs scored and an OPS of 1.942. The El Paso, Texas native had hits in all five games, extending his hitting streak to eight games, including three multi-hit efforts. In Sunday’s series finale against Baylor, he went 3-for-4 with two home runs to finish a Longhorn series sweep where he hit .600 with 4 HR. He extends his Conference lead with his third Player of the Week honor of the season.
 
Birdsell tossed an eight-inning complete game in Texas Tech’s 12-2 run-rule victory over West Virginia Saturday. The Willis, Texas native allowed just two unearned runs, both in the eighth inning, to go along with four hits, one walk and nine strikeouts. Earning his sixth victory of the season, Birdsell picks up his second weekly honor of the season.
 
Campbell struck out 14 TCU batters in 8.0 innings in the series opener, earning his league-leading fourth win in Big 12 play. The Simi Valley, California native scattered three hits while allowing two runs, and did not allow a Horned Frog to reach via a walk in the 13-2 Cowboys victory. His 14 strikeouts are the most by a Big 12 pitcher in a Conference game this season, and the first 11 of those came on swings-and-misses. Campbell earns Pitcher of the Week for the second consecutive week, and for the Conference-leading third time this season.
 
Robertson hit .600 with 12 RBI and 10 runs scored, and helped Oklahoma to a series sweep over Kansas. The Cowley College transfer had a 5-for-6 night in the series opener against the Jayhawks, tied for the most hits by a Big 12 player in any game this season. He hit a 14^th-inning ground-rule double in Saturday’s game that set up OU’s eventual game-winning sacrifice fly. For the week, he had a 1.717 OPS as he secured his first Big 12 weekly honor.
