Newman terrorized the Davis & Elkins pitching staff in a Trevecca four-game conference sweep over the weekend. He drove in a total of 18 runs in just four games, including eight with a two-home run showcase on Friday.
Newman followed that effort up with a perfect 5-for-5 exhibition at the plate with another five RBI while doubling and tripling and stealing a pair of bases. He also scored a combined six times in Friday's twinbill.
After pounding out a pair of hits to start Saturday's doubleheader against the Senators, Newman crushed another home run and was 3-for-5 with four more runs driven in.
On the week, the junior corner infielder hit 13-for-23, with 18 RBI, 11 runs scored, three home runs, a double, a triple, two stolen bases and a pair of walks. He slugged 1.130 and sported an on-base percentage of .607.
Newman has his sights set on the G-MAC triple crown, leading the league in average (.508), RBI (55) and home runs (13). He also paces the conference in hits (61), walks (24), runs scored (46) and doubles (16).
In the NCAA's most updated statistics report (excluding the D&E series), Newman ranked in the top 20 nationally in several categories including slugging percentage (fifth), batting average (13th) and home runs per game (14th) and home runs (18th).
