Lopez: Southland Conf. Hitter of the Week with .833 batting average
McNeese sophomore utility player Kaylee Lopez, a North Vermilion graduate, has been named this week’s Southland Conference Hitter of the Week, the league announced Monday.
The native of Indian Bayou, Louisiana, had a career week with an .833 batting average, a .917 slugging percent, and an .846 on base percent.
Lopez was 10-for-12 at the plate with one double, three RBI, one walk, and scored three runs in helping the Cowgirls to a 3-1 record last week including clinching a spot in next week’s Southland Conference Tournament.
She hit safely in all four games and was perfect at the plate in two of the four games.
She began her week 3-for-3 against UL-Monroe last Wednesday before ending her week going 4-for-4 in the 5-3 extra inning win against Northwestern State in the series finale Saturday.
