Academy of Art University Athletics

Sophomore outfielder Hayato Niki posted a pair of multi-hit and multi-RBI games in his first two games as an Urban Knight, contributing to Academy of Art's offensive eruptions against Fresno Pacific on Mar. 6.

Niki's ART U debut saw him register three hits in five at-bats with his final knock a two-run single to put his team up 12-0. Shortly thereafter, the Communications & Media Technologies major continued to stay hot with a 2-for-3 effort that featured another two-run single to cap the Knights' 9-3 victory.

For the week, Niki hit .625 (5-for-8) with four runs batted in and one run scored.
