INDIANAPOLIS - Milwaukee junior Cole Kraft has been named the Horizon League Batter of the Week while Wright State senior Alex Kaminsky garners Pitcher of the Week honors for the period of May 10-16.
Kraft helped his Panther squad to a 3-1 record in league action this week, hitting 9-for-16 in those games. For the week, Kraft belted two homeruns, recorded seven RBI, seven runs and amassed a slugging percentage of .800. The Menomonie, Wis., native, posted four multiple hit games among his five games played, totaling a hitting percentage of .450.
