SZAMSKI EARNS SECOND BIG SOUTH PLAYER OF THE WEEK AWARD OF THE SEASON; BRYANT ALSO HONORED FOR SECOND TIME

 

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (www.BigSouthSports.com) – Radford redshirt-senior outfielder Andrew Szamski has been named the Big South Conference Baseball Player of the Week for the second time this season. In addition, freshman second baseman David Bryant earned his second Freshman of the Week accolade.
 
The Highlanders' right fielder put together a massive week in leading the team to a perfect 4-0 record, including a sweep of Winthrop at Carter Memorial Stadium.  
 
The Glen Arm, Maryland enjoyed a .705/.684/1.235 slash line with two homers, three doubles and 12 RBI.
 
Szamski hit a walk-off two-run single in the bottom of the ninth on Friday evening versus the Eagles and then made program history on Saturday afternoon.  The Eastern Tech product went 6-for-6 with two doubles, two homers, eight RBI and 14 total bases on the day. The six hits and 14 total bases tied a Radford single-game record. The senior drove in two more runs on Sunday to finish the Winthrop series with 12 RBI. 
 
Szamski leads the Big South in batting (.390), total bases (68) and is tied for the league-lead with 33 RBI. In addition, Szamski is second in slugging (.648) and third in on base percentage (.460).

Bryant hit .462 over the four-game stretch to raise his average to .307 on the season. The Johnson City, Tennessee native went 6-for-13 at the dish and drove in six runs. He also added a pair of stolen bases and racked up 15 assists from his second base position.

Bryant hit in all four games and drove in two runs in two different games against Winthrop as well as the mid-week game against Appalachian State.
 
The Highlanders will travel to East Tennessee State on Tuesday evening before returning home for a three-game set with USC Upstate this weekend.
