ATLANTA -- Junior Ivie Drake became Georgia State softball's all-time career home runs leader on Friday and is this week's Georgia State Student-Athlete of the Week, powered by the U.S. Marines.
Drake hit her 39th career home run on Friday, moving into first place on Georgia State’s career home run list. Drake’s three-run homer Friday vs. Illinois moved her ahead of Callie Alford who hit her 38th career home run during the 2015 season.
While setting the new record, her home run also ended the game as it gave the Panthers the eight-run lead in the sixth inning over the Illini.
