May 02, 2023 | Softball
CLEVELAND - - For her part in helping softball secure a berth in the 2023 Mid-American Conference Tournament, redshirt freshman McKenna Mulholland has been named the MAC Softball Player of the Week.
Â
Mulholland led the Cardinals with a .529 batting average over the team's six games last week, including a career-best 4-for-4 day in the series finale at Akron. She also led the Ball State offense with six RBI, including three in Sunday's 5-4 victory over the Zips.
Â
She helped the Cardinals establish a new program record for home runs in a game, blasting a solo shot to left field in the series opener at Akron for the fourth of six Ball State solo home runs in the contest. Mulholland also added a sac fly to drive in the final run of Ball State's 10-0 (5) run rule victory over Miami, marking the most runs the RedHawks have given up in a league game this season.
Â
In addition to her .529 batting average, she finished the week with a .824 slugging percentage, with two doubles and a home run, along with a .526 on base percentage.
