BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The University of West Alabama’s Rob Dahlberg was named Gulf South Conference East Division Player of the Week for his efforts in the Diamond Tigers’ Gulf South Conference baseball sweep of Valdosta State over the weekend.

The Gilbertown, Ala.-native recorded a .600 batting average against the Blazers with six hits, including four for extra bases. The four doubles moved the senior first baseman into fifth all-time in two-baggers. Among being the all-time leader in singles and stolen bases, Dahlberg is now ranked among the all-time leaders in UWA baseball history in 11 categories, which ties former Tiger standout Walt Simmons as the most.

Dahlberg becomes the second UWA player to receive an honor from the GSC office, as Jody Morgan claimed the same laurel earlier this season. This marks Dahlberg’s fifth career Player of the Week accolade.

West Alabama returns to action on Wednesday, Apr. 1, as the Tigers travel to Auburn Montgomery for a single, nine inning contest. First pitch is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.
