Kristyna Garcia Slugs Her Way to Jayhawk West Player of the Week

For the first time in her Lady Saints career, Seward County freshman third baseman Kristyna Garcia was named the Jayhawk West Player of the Week in a league release on Wednesday. 

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.

Garcia is hitting .361 on the year for the Lady Saints, ranking second on the team in both hits with 39 and RBI's with 25. 

Garcia and the Lady Saints will return to Jayhawk West action on Friday when they make the trip to Northwest Kansas to take on the Colby Lady Trojans.
