SIOUX FALLS — South Dakota State shortstop Luke Ira was selected Monday as Summit League Baseball Player of the Week.

A sophomore from Iowa City, Iowa, Ira batted .538 (7-for-13) with three doubles and three runs batted in as the Jackrabbits rallied for a split of a four-game weekend series against Omaha. After going hitless in the first game of the series, Ira posted three consecutive multi-hit games with an RBI, starting with a 3-for-3 effort in the second game of an April 10 doubleheader.

Both of his hits in the April 11 series finale were doubles as he compiled a .769 slugging percentage on the weekend.

Ira is the first Jackrabbit to be honored as Summit League Player of the Week this season.

SDSU, 9-19 overall and 4-8 in league play, is scheduled to host Western Illinois in a four-game weekend series. The series begins with a noon doubleheader Friday at Erv Huether Field.
