Junior right fielder Jake Sanford earned back-to-back Conference USA Hitter of the Week honors after his strong start to conference play. Sanford becomes only the third player in the conference since 2010 to win the award in consecutive weeks.
“The biggest thing about Jake is how he has remained confident in his ability and consistent in his approach,” head coach John Pawlowski said. “He just goes about his business and what you see is what you get. He’s a down to earth person who is a tremendous student athlete here at WKU and we’re glad to have him.
