PLAYER OF THE WEEK
West Alabama outfielder Whitney Brown
(Jr., 5-6, Fyffe, Ala.)
Brown played in only two games but she put on a record-setting performance that earned her the Player of the Week award for the first time. In a doubleheader sweep of Miles, the junior outfielder went 7-for-8 with three home runs and 12 runs batted in. She scored seven times, walked twice and of the seven hits, only one - in her final at-bat - was not for extra bases. In the opener, she went 5-for-5 with two doubles, a triple, two home runs (one a grand slam) and 10 RBI. Brown set UWA and Gulf South Conference records for total bases in a game with 15 in the opener. Set now owns the UWA record for RBI in a single game with 10 and tied the school record for hits in a game with five. She was one RBI short of the GSC record for RBI in a single game. On the season, Brown leads the league in several categories, including batting average (.563) and RBI (27) and also has five home runs.
