KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chase Jensen of Oklahoma City University was named NAIA baseball player of the week Tuesday.

Jensen, a native of Arlington, Texas, helped top-ranked OCU win three of a four-game series at Wayland Baptist (Texas) April 19-20.

In the first game, the 6-foot-4 shortstop powered the Stars with two home runs, including the second of back-to-back homers in the seventh to extend the OCU lead to 11-1. He finished the game 3-for-4 with three runs scored and two RBIs.
Jensen concluded the day with a 2-for-3 effort in the nightcap, including a one-out RBI triple down the right-field line.
Jensen added his third home run of the series in the top of the third in game No. 3. The blast drove in three runs and gave the Stars a 6-1 advantage.
The senior ended the week with three hits including another home run and a triple.
