DURHAM, NC – Bradley junior shortstop Luke Shadid (Peoria, IL/Notre Dame HS) is one of four finalists for this week's USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award/D1Baseball.com Performance of the Week in recognition of the first recorded cycle in Bradley Baseball history Saturday at UNLV.
While producing the first cycle on record in Bradley's 119-year baseball history, the single (2), double, triple and home run came in a 5-for-6 performance overall, Shadid became the first player in Bradley history to record two career 5-hit games. He led off Saturday's 8-5 victory with a home run, singled in both the second and fourth innings, tripled in the sixth and doubled in the eighth inning.
