PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

HITTER

Avery Zeigler, Angelo State University, FR, Undeclared, Infield/Outfield, Southlake, Texas, Southlake Carroll HS

Zeigler played well beyond her years as the freshman was always on base when her team needed her as the Rambelles took two out of three games against Texas A&M-Kingsville. Zeigler tripled in the first game of the series to put herself in position to be the tying run in the Rambelles walk off 7-6 win. The Southlake, Texas, native drove in three runs over the series, scored four times herself, and hit her fifth home run of the season.

 

PITCHER

Bethany Hines, Cameron University, JR, Early Childhood Education, Pitcher, Washington, Okla., Washington HS
