This is Lorenz's second SEC Player of the Week award of the season.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Amanda Lorenz picked up her second Southeastern Conference Player of the Week of the season after she helped the fifth-ranked Florida softball team to a series sweep over No. 19 Mississippi State.
Lorenz paced the Gators offense this week with a .636 average at the plate with a 1.455 slugging and .714 on base percentage. Lorenz set the tone for the weekend against Mississippi State when she blasted a solo home run in the first inning of the first game of the series. She went on to finish the game 4-for-4 at the plate and a double shy of hitting for the cycle.
The Moorpark, Calif. native helped clinch the series after breaking a 1-1 tie in the fourth with her second grand slam of the season. With two outs and a full-count against her, Lorenz ripped the ball over the wall in center field to give Florida a comfortable 5-1 lead.
Earlier in the week, Lorenz went 1-for-2 against Florida A&M with a double, two runs scored and a pair of RBI.
The Gators are set to host No. 8 Florida State at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium in the final installment of the Fresh from Florida Sunshine Showdown. The game against the Seminoles is slated to start at 6 p.m.
