LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The accolades continue to pour in for senior Kaylee Tow, this week's Louisville Slugger/NFCA Player of the Week, the National Fastpitch Coaches Association announced Tuesday.
The national honor is the first of Tow's career and the eighth in program history. She is just the third position player at Alabama to receive the accolade, joining Kelley Montalvo (March 11, 2008) and Charlotte Morgan (April 8, 2008). The last Crimson Tide player to receive the award was Alexis Osorio on March 13, 2018.
Tow paced the Alabama offense in an undefeated weekend at the Easton Bama Bash, going 11-for-14 (.786) at the plate with a team-leading seven runs scored and nine RBIs. She had four multi-hit performances, including a season-best three hits on Friday against Liberty and in back-to-back games against eighth-ranked LSU. In the weekend finale against the Tigers, she scored three times and drove in a career-best five RBIs to help the Tide score 13 runs, its highest total in program history against LSU. For her efforts, she was named the Easton Bama Bash MVP.
