KJCCC Division I Softball Players of the Week, Week 7, 2016

Seward County freshman Kristyna Garcia enjoyed a change of scenery for the Lady Saints last week as they made their annual Spring Break trip to Arizona. Garcia racked up 15 hits on the week, hitting .625 while driving home 10 in six Seward ballgames.  In Seward's doubleheader against Dawson, Garcia was 5 for 8 with a pair of doubles and three RBI's.  The next day against the Fighting Artichokes of Scottsdale she one-upped herself, going 6 for 8 in the twinbill, this time homering and doubling while driving home five.  She wrapped the trip with three more hits and two more RBI's in a Seward sweep of South Mountain. 

Madison Didion recorded fifteen strikeouts in nine innings of work helping Barton to two victories last week.   Striking out eight against McPherson College, Didion was more impressive against DII #13 Williston State College pitching a three inning perfect game striking out seven of the nine batters she faced.  Ranking sixth nationally in total strikeouts with 137, Didion's two victories improved the freshman's campaign to 17-1 leading Barton to a 32-2 start to the season.
