Baseball: UL’s Greg Davis wins national player of the week award

Tim Buckley, Daily Advertiser, May 12, 2014

UL infielder Greg Davis was one of eight players named national Louisville Slugger Players of the Week by Collegiate Baseball newspaper on Monday.

Davis, usually a reserve who plays mostly at first base and sometimes at third base, was 6-for-8 at the plate with one double, a grand slam, four runs scored and eight RBIs in two games as the No. 3-ranked Ragin’ Cajuns swept a three-game Sun Belt Conference series last weekend at South Alabama.

Davis, however, did not win Sun Belt Player of the Week honors Monday.

That award went to Texas-Arlington outfielder Ryan Bottger, who was 5-for-8 with two homers, four runs scored and six RBIs in a thee-game sweep of Western Kentucky.
