Florida A&M’s Tyra Bowers was named the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Softball Player of the Week, the conference announced yesterday.
Bowers (OF, Jr., Eustis, Fla.) led the MEAC with 10 hits while sporting a .667 average (10-of-15) as Florida A&M finished the week with a 3-1 record. The junior outfielder stole four bases while scoring six runs and driving in a pair of RBI with two doubles. She also added a triple and drew two walks.
Batting leadoff for the Rattlers, Bowers opened the week with a hit at Jacksonville and started a game-tying rally in the top of the seventh against Savannah State with a leadoff single and run. She also scored in the top of the 10th to spark a comeback over the Lady Tigers.
On Sunday, Bowers once again came up big with the game on the line as she recorded a hit and scored in a four-run eighth-inning win over Savannah State.
