DAHLONEGA -- University of North Georgia (UNG) baseball sophomore outfielder Kyle Robitzsch has been named as the Peach Belt Conference Baseball Player of the Week the league office announced Monday afternoon.

Robitzsch diced up the Lander pitching staff in a three-game series for the Nighthawks this past weekend.

The Kennesaw, Ga. native combined to go 8-for-11 (.727) in the series with a double, two runs and eight RBI.

The second-year Nighthawk batted in nearly 30 percent of UNG's runs on the weekend in the series win over Lander. He had two multi-hit games and recorded a hit in every contest.

After going 3-for-4 with two RBI in the opener, he added another hit and another RBI in game two. In the series finale, Robitzsch dominated at the plate as he went a perfect 4-for-4 with one run scored and five RBI.

The five-RBI performance tied a single-game high for the Nighthawks this season while also ranking as the third most in a game among PBC hitters this year.

This is the first PBC weekly honor of Robitzsch's career. As a team the Nighthawks have now compiled six weekly honors from the conference this season including at least one in every category (player, pitcher, freshman). The six conference honors are already tied for the second most in a single season in program history. This is the first year since 2020 UNG has earned at least six weekly honors from the conference office in a single season. 

Robitzsch and the Nighthawks are back in action this week on Wednesday, March 26 in Salisbury, N.C. for a non-conference showdown with No. 5 Catawba. First pitch against the Indians is set for 4 p.m.
