SIOUX FALLS — South Dakota State senior Landon Badger was honored Monday as Summit League Baseball Player of the Week for his performance in a four-game series against North Dakota State over the weekend.
An outfielder/first baseman from Pierre, Badger became the first Jackrabbit in exactly 12 years to hit three home runs in a game, accomplishing the feat int he first game of an April 24 doubleheader. He homered in three consecutive innings, hitting a solo homer in the third inning, a three-run homer in the fourth and a grand slam in the fifth for eight runs batted in as SDSU won 12-2 in eight innings.
Badger added a solo homer in the second inning of the doubleheader, giving him four home runs and 10 RBIs in the two games. He entered the weekend without a home run on the season.
Badger is the second Jackrabbit to be named Summit League Player of the Week, joining shortstop Luke Ira, who was honored April 12.
The Jackrabbits are scheduled to return to action with a four-game weekend series at league-leading Oral Roberts. The series starts Friday with a 3 p.m. doubleheader at J.L. Johnson Stadium in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
