He followed with a 3-for-4 performance in a win over Minnesota-Duluth with two RBI, a double, and a home run, and in a two-game set against St. Michael's, Kops went 5-for-9 at the plate, drove in five runners, scored five times, and homered in both contests. Over the five games, he totaled 12 hits in 23 at-bats for a .522 batting average, with a .577 on-base percentage and a 1.261 slugging percentage. Defensively, the infielder had 28 putouts and three assists in 32 chances and helped turn five double plays.
