With her homerun against no. 11 Tennessee this weekend to clutch the win for the Tigers, senior Branndi Melero claims the co-player of the week title alongside Bailey Landry of LSU.
Melero is known for her strength in the batter’s box and her efficiency on defense as right fielder.
She falls into the five-hits-or-more club in this weekend’s series next to Kasey Cooper and Morgan Estell, and is credited for seven homeruns this season alone.
Melero stands with 39 RBI for a .348 average, making her no. 11 in the SEC.
This award marks her first time being recognized by the SEC, behind junior Emily Carosone’s previous achievement in March.
