Holtz named Player of the Week

Posted

SIOUX FALLS – South Dakota State outfielder Logan Holtz was honored Monday as Summit League Player of the Week after helping lead the Jackrabbits to two victories over the weekend.

A senior from Urbana, Iowa, Holtz batted .545 (6-for-11) with four RBIs and two runs scored during the week. In a March 2 victory over Missouri, he recorded a career-best three hits in five trips to the plate and drove in the first two Jackrabbits runs as SDSU prevailed 6-3. Later that same day, Holtz added two more RBIs as the Jackrabbits rallied for 7-5 victory over host Central Arkansas.

In extending his hitting streak to five games, Holtz raised his season batting average to a team-best .385. He has reached base safely in all nine games in which he has played this year.

Holtz is the second Jackrabbit to be honored with a weekly award by the Summit League this season, joining Brady Stover, who was named Summit League Pitcher of the Week on Feb. 18.

SDSU (5-5) continues its Spring Break trip by playing Wednesday at Alabama. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. at Sewell-Thomas Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Video coverage of the game will be available through SEC Network Plus.
