Posted

ELMHURST, Ill. – South Dakota State’s Baily Janssen was honored as the Summit League Softball Player of the Week, released Monday by the league office.

Though the Jackrabbits played just two games in the award’s time frame, Janssen hit .500 and slugged 1.000 with a .500 on-base percentage. The Missouri Valley, Iowa, native went 3-for-6 at the plate with three RBIs, two walks and an inside-the-park home run.

Janssen went 1-for-3 against Stephen F. Austin on Sunday with her first career home run, driving in three runs in the fifth when her inside-the-park round tripper cleared the Ladyjacks defense. In Sunday’s finale versus Austin Peay, Janssen was 2-for-3 with two runs scored. The Jackrabbits won both games.
