Miami Marlins catcher Liam Hicks isn’t the only one in the family who knows how to hit. 

Brother Connor has been proving it all season long with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics No. 6 Southeastern University Fire. 

Last week alone, the younger Hicks stroked 12 hits. 

In Game 1 of the Fire’s series against Florida Memorial, he went 3-for-4 with two doubles and five RBIs. For an encore, he had four hits, including a solo and a two-run home run, two doubles and five more RBIs during a 21-2 Game 2 victory. 

Not done there, Hicks had two more knocks and a walk as his team took Game 3, 10-8. 

To put a bow on his strong week, he went 3-for-5 with a walk and an RBI as the Fire swept the series with a 14-8 win. 

For his efforts, Hicks was named the Sun Conference Player of the Week.

On the season, the former Toronto Met is hitting .431 with 10 home runs, 55 RBIs and a 1.298 OPS over 38 games. 

Connor Hicks is also the Canadian Baseball Network College Player of the Week for March 31 to April 6.
