Ibe Named Southland Hitter of the Week

Stephen F. Austin senior infielder Josh Ibe has been named the Southland Conference Hitter of the Week per the league's announcement on Monday afternoon, April 6.

Ibe swung a hot and powerful bat over four games this past week. The Jacks went 3-1 earning a midweek victory over Prairie View A&M at home and picking up an SLC series win at Texas A&M-CC. In those four games, Ibe hit .438 with seven hits of which five went for extra bases. He delivered three doubles, a pair of home runs and totaled 16 bases. Ibe drove in a team-leading nine runs and tied for the team lead in runs scored with six.
