SDSU SWEEPS SUMMIT BASEBALL AWARDS
5/5/2026 1:00:00 PM | Baseball
SIOUX FALLS – South Dakota State on Tuesday swept the Summit League baseball weekly awards with Nate Wachter earning Kwik Star Peak Performer of the Week accolades and Ty Madison receiving Kwik Star Peak Pitcher of the Week honors.
In five games last week, Wachter batted .667 (12-for-18) with 10 runs batted in and nine runs scored, adding a 1.167 slugging percentage. He collected two or more hits in four of the five games, highlighted by a 4-for-4, two-home run, seven-RBI performance against Minnesota Morris on April 29. A redshirt freshman outfielder/catcher from Blair, Nebraska, Wachter went 3-for-4 in each of the Jackrabbits' two wins at North Dakota State over the weekend, including delivering the game-winning hit in a 5-4 come-from-behind victory on May 2.
Madison pitched the final 7 2/3 innings and recorded a career-high 10 strikeouts in SDSU's one-run victory at North Dakota State on May 2. After allowing a run in his first full inning of work, the senior right-hander from Omaha, Nebraska, blanked the Bison over the final six frames and retired 10 batters in a row in one stretch. He did not walk a batter in the game.
Since moving to the bullpen in late March, Madison has posted a 2.05 earned run average over 22 innings and seven relief appearances while striking out 22 batters and issuing only one base on balls.
Wachter and Madison are the fourth and fifth Jackrabbit players to garner Summit League weekly awards this season. Outfielder Carter Taylor (Feb. 24) and designated hitter/first baseman Luke Luskey (March 24) were previous Peak Performer honorees, while Sam Schlecht was selected as Peak Pitcher of the Week on March 3.
South Dakota State is scheduled to play its final home series of the season this weekend against St. Thomas. Games Friday and Sunday are slated for 1 p.m., with Saturday's Senior Day contest set for a 3 p.m. first pitch.
The Jackrabbits enter the weekend with an 18-26 overall record and a 9-11 mark in Summit League play that puts the squad in fourth place in the league standings with seven games to play.
