For the second time this season, South Dakota State University baseball players Reid Clary and Adam Bray were honored with weekly Summit League Awards.
A senior catcher from Princeton, Illinois, Clary was named Summit League Player of the Week in helping lead the Jackrabbits to a 4-1 record last week. Clary batted .600 (9-for-15) and compiled a .933 slugging percentage with seven runs batted in in four starts. He recorded at least one hit and one RBI in each game, extending his streaks in both categories to seven games.
In the three-game weekend series against Omaha, Clary batted .727 (8-for-11) and slugged 1.182 with a pair of doubles and a home run. He also threw out four runners on the bases during the week — two caught stealing and two pickoffs.
Bray, a senior right-hander from Eden Prairie, Minnesota, earned his second consecutive Summit League Pitcher of the Week Award. In an April 17 start against Omaha, Bray went eight innings without allowing an earned run. He struck out six, walked one and scattered six hits en route to recording his 20th career victory.
The Jackrabbits, 24-14 overall and in second place in the Summit League standings with an 11-7 mark, have won nine of their last 10 games. SDSU is scheduled to play Wednesday at Minnesota, followed by the opening game of a three-game series at league-leading Oral Roberts Friday in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
