TEMPE, Ariz. -- Following a five-home run weekend, junior catcher
Maddi Hackbarth has been named the Pac-12 Player of the Week.
The Player of the Week nod is the second for the Sun Devils this season as
Kindra Hackbarth earned the honor following the second week of the season.
Hackbarth started all three games this past weekend in the Sun Devil's series sweep over Utah. She got things started with a two-home run outing on Friday, before capping the weekend with a three-home run game in ASU's incredible comeback win on Sunday.
Her five-hits on the weekend (all of which left Farrington Stadium), tied for third on the team, and helped push ASU to its total 40 hits and 12 total home runs on the weekend.
Following the offensive explosion from Hackbarth and the rest of the ASU offense this past weekend, the Sun Devils now lead the Pac-12 in batting average (.354), Slugging percentage (.694), on base percentage (.460), runs scored (301) and home runs (64).
The Sun Devils will be back in action this weekend when the team heads down south to face Arizona in a three game set. Action in the weekend series will be gin with a 5 p.m. matchup Friday. Fans can follow all of the action from the weekend series by following @ASUSoftball on Twitter
