Swarthmore College junior right fielder
Holden Bridge was named the National Hitter of the Week by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association on Wednesday.
Bridge hit safely in 19-of-28 plate appearances in six games for No. 7 Swarthmore last week in Florida. Bridge, who recorded a .679 average, had six hits in the Garnet's 22-6 win over SUNY Canton, which tied 10 other Centennial Conference players for the single-game hits record. Bridge registered nine RBI, nine runs scored, three doubles, and a stolen base, as the Garnet went 5-1 during the week. He only struck out once in his 28 at bats.
