Lewis, a senior outfielder from Washington, Mo., had a stellar month at the plate hitting .353, knocking 12 hits, 2 doubles, and 2 triples while swiping five bags in the month. The leadoff hitter for the Owls has been stellar defensively as well with a perfect fielding percentage.
Kinsler, a junior from Elsberry, Mo., has already etched his name throughout the William Woods record book, leading in categories such as triples in a season, triples in a career, and sits within striking distance of homeruns in a career. The centerfielder dominated at the plate for the month of February to the tune of a .333 average, while notching 12 hits. Six of those 12 hits went for extra bases, including three round-trippers.
