Â
TROY, Ala. – After belting four home runs and posting a 1.617 OPS, Troy junior slugger Anslee Finch has been named the Sun Belt Conference Hitter of the Week; the league office announced Tuesday afternoon.
Â
A junior from Geneva, Ala., Finch hit .476 (10-of-21) on the week as Troy posted a 4-2 record and won the JU/UNF Spring Break Challenge. She hit .500 (9-of-18) with all four of her home runs and 10 RBIs in Troy's weekend run in Jacksonville after recording the Trojans' lone hit against No. 19 Auburn during a mid-week contest.
Â
Finch enters play this week riding a six-game hitting streak and has an extra-base hit in three of the last four games. She drove in three or more runs in three of Troy's final four games over the weekend, including a 3-for-3 performance with a double, two home runs and four RBIs in the second game of a doubleheader against Jacksonville.
Â
After not recording a hit in the first four games of the season, Finch has at least one base knock in 14 of the last 16 games, with multiple hits in six different games.
Â
She is Troy's first player this season to earn a Sun Belt weekly honor. Finch and the Trojans travel to Alabama State on Wednesday before returning to Jacksonville this weekend.
