BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Today’s WKU Player of the Week is Hilltopper baseball outfielder Ryan Wideman after the junior transfer had a historic week for the Tops.

Through four games, Wideman was 11-for-21 (.524) at the plate with a grand slam, five doubles, two triples and 11 RBI.

To top it off, the Georgia native recorded the first cycle in WKU program history in last week’s matchup with Southern Illinois.

So far on the season, Wideman is leading the conference in batting average (.459), hits (39), doubles (10), triples (4), RBI (26), total bases (69) and stolen bases (13).
