For the third time this season, Logan Sowers has won the Big Ten Freshman of the Week honor.
This time it comes after a week in which Sowers led IU with nine total bases, five RBIs and three doubles. He also scored three runs and hit .375 in IU’s four games this past week.
The freshman also had a walk-off RBI single Friday against Rutgers in IU’s 5-4 win, the first win of a sweep of the Scarlet Knights.
This season Sowers is tied for the team lead in RBIs with 22 and has hit three home runs for the Hoosiers. He has started all 32 games for IU in the outfield this season.
The award is his third of the season, more than any other player in the Big Ten Conference.
The last IU player to win Big Ten Freshman of the Week was pitcher Brian Hobbie on March 16.
