Hit .600 last week and homered in three consecutive games
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State junior Skylar Limon has been chosen as the Big Ten Player of the Week, the conference office announced on Monday.
Limon, an outfielder from La Habra, Calif., hit .600 in four games last week for the Buckeyes as Ohio State defeated Dayton and earned its first-ever series sweep over Michigan. She homered in three consecutive games – vs. Dayton on Wednesday and in both games of a doubleheader vs. Michigan on Friday – while also making a diving catch at the center field wall in the top of the seventh inning to preserve a 4-3 lead in the first game of a doubleheader on Friday.
Limon's sixth-inning home run in the series opener on Friday vs. Michigan gave the Buckeyes their first lead of the game at 4-3. In the second game, she homered in the fifth inning to start a comeback that resulted in a 7-4 walk-off victory.
In three games last weekend against Michigan, Limon hit .500 with six runs scored, two home runs, three RBI and had a .600 on-base percentage. She had at least one hit in all four games last week with two multi-hit games. Limon's big weekend upped her batting average to .384 on the season and .378 in 16 Big Ten games.
Ohio State (37-10-1) returns to action on Tuesday when it plays its final non-conference midweek game of the regular season at Ohio. First pitch is slated for 5:30 p.m. in Athens. The game will be streamed live on ESPN+.
