ST. CLOUD, Minn. – The accolades continued to roll in for Oklahoma Baptist's
Kade Self on Wednesday. The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) voted OBU's senior outfielder/designated hitter as its Central Region Player of the Week.
Self's award, OBU's second straight by the NCBWA, stemmed from a standout weekend against Southeastern Oklahoma State on March 10-11.
In three games, he batted .700 with seven hits, a double and two home runs. Self also drove in 11, totaled 14 bases and attained a slugging percentage of 1.400. The Shawnee native also had an OPS mark of 2.427.
During the series finale against SE, he lifted OBU in front, 9-6, with a fifth-inning grand slam. He was 3-for-4 in that game with two homers and seven RBI, two off the school's single-game record.
Self and OBU will be back in action when they take on Arkansas-Monticello on March 17 at 3 p.m. at home.
