SOFTBALL: Gilbert earns Player of the Week honors

Sophomore pulls in her fourth weekly award

Sophomore left fielder Jennifer Gilbert won her second consecutive Mid-American Conference Player of the Week award Tuesday.

Gilbert had one of the best weeks of her career against Purdue and Miami. She finished the week 8-13 with 3 home runs, two doubles and a triple.

Gilbert's 10 RBIs helped Ball State finish with a 3-1 record and was a big reason in Ball State's 9.25 runs per game in the week.

It was Gilbert's fourth career MAC player of the week award. Gilbert has also reached base in a career-high 22 straight games.

Ball State returns to action Wednesday against Indiana at 4 p.m.
