PEORIA, Ill. -- Sophomore third baseman Brendan Dougherty (Des Moines, Iowa/Dowling Catholic H.S.) has been named the Bradley COUNTRY Financial Scholar-Athlete of the Week after helping Bradley Baseball to a 2-1 record during the opening weekend of the 2018 season.
Dougherty, who was named the MVC Player of the Week Monday, hit .700 (7-for-10) at the season-opening Atlanta Challenge where he had multiple hits in all three games and reached base safely nine time. He was 2-for-3 with a hit by pitch Friday at Georgia State; 2-for-3 with a walk, sacrifice and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-7 win at Georgia Tech; and 3-for-4 with a game-tying RBI in Sunday's 6-4 win at Kennesaw State.
