BIRIMINGHAM, Ala. – For the second time this season, University of Arkansas at Monticello senior shortstop Lindsey Randall has been named Gulf South Conference West Division Player of the Week.
 
The following is a portion of the GSC release:
Randall was on top of her game at the plate, pounding out tons of hits as UAM went 4-2 on the week. Randall had 12 hits and drove in seven runs in 27 at bats. She slugged five doubles and got on-base 46 percent of the time. In a 14-4 win over Southern Arkansas, she went 5-for-6 with four RBI, a homerun and two doubles.
 
“Lindsey had a fantastic week, capped off by a great series at Southern Arkansas,” said UAM coach Alvy Early. “She continues to be a great leader for our team, and I expect her to have a great rest of the season.”
 
Randall’s five hits in the win over Southern Arkansas tied UAM’s all-time record for hits in a game. Randall had to share the spotlight with that record tying performance as junior teammate Becca Tipton racked up five base hits in the following game.
 
Overall this season, Randall is leading the team with a .435 batting average. She also leads the team in runs scored (30), hits (40), doubles (13), homeruns (4) and slugging percentage (.728).
 
Randall joins Arkansas Tech pitcher Casey Hammons, who was crowned pitcher of the week. For the GSC-East, Alabama-Huntsville swept both honors, with Beth Lawson named player of the week and Sage Woodham named pitcher of the week.
