CLEVELAND, Ohio – Maddy Grimm, who became Kent State's all-time home run leader on Sunday, has been named Mid-American Conference East Division Player of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday afternoon.
Grimm batted .400 with a 1.400 slugging percentage to lead the Golden Flashes to a winning weekend at the Red & Black Classic in Louisville, Ky. All six of her hits — one double, one triple and four home runs — went for extra bases as she had eight RBIs and scored seven runs.
Grimm entered the weekend 2 home runs off the school record, but quickly tied it as part of a 3-for-3 night at the plate to lead the Golden Flashes past host Louisville on Friday night, 13-9.
