WESSON – Copiah-Lincoln freshman catcher Jessica Crum has been named the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) Softball Player of the week for the opening week of the 2015 season.

Crum, a graduate of Dutchtown High School (La.), was selected Co-player of the Week along with Itawamba outfielder Courtney Roberts in a vote by league sports information directors. Both players will be nominated for the national player of the week award that will be announced later this week.

Crum went 8-13 at the plate with 14 RBIs, two homeruns, and two walks in a 2-2 week for the Lady Wolves. Her batting average for the week was .615 and she struck out once. Crum put Co-Lin ahead of Itawamba in extra innings with a 3-run homer before the Lady Indians came back in the bottom of the inning to take an 8-7 win. Crum finished with six RBIs in that game. Later in the week, against Mississippi Delta, Crum hit a 2-run homer in game two and a 3-run double in game one.

Crum and the Lady Wolves return to action on Thursday, Feb. 12 when they travel to Moorhead for a 1 p.m. start of the doubleheader with Mississippi Delta.
