Carson claimed one of the outfield spots on the weekly team as he batted .714 last week with eight extra-base hits: four doubles, a triple and three home runs.
He had six RBI and eight runs scored.
He went 3-for-4 with a home run and three runs against Wittenberg and then homered in both games against the Polar Bears and drove in four runs.
Amburgey tied a team record going 6-for-6 with eight runs batted in and homer in the win at Wittenberg.
He then got base hits in his first two at bats at Ohio Northern before walking twice and getting hit by a pitch to reach base safely in 11 straight plate appearances.
He finished the week batting .846 (11-for-13) with a home run, six runs scored and nine RBIs.
