Bellarmine University’s Patrick Brady (Lexington, Ky.) is the Great Lakes Valley Conference Baseball Player of the Week.

Brady, a sophomore second baseman for the Knights, helped Bellarmine to five wins last week and pushed the Knights’ current winning streak to 12 games.

He went 2-for-3 with two runs scored in Bellarmine’s 10-0 win over Montevallo on Wednesday and then posted a seven-for-15 effort in the Knights’ four-game weekend sweep over visiting UW-Parkside.

In the four-game set with the Rangers, Brady collected nine runs, eight RBIs, four doubles, a triple and home run. The Knights’ swept Sunday’s doubleheader behind Brady’s four doubles and home run. He was 5-for-8 in the two games with five RBIs and six runs scored.

On the week, he hit .500 and had three multi-hit games. Five of Brady’s nine hits went for extra bases and he pushed his league-leading doubles total to 17.

Brady leads the league in batting average (.409) and hits (47) as well, and he is currently fourth in the league in slugging percentage (.670).

Bellarmine (22-9) has surged into first-place in the GLVC East Division with its current run. The Knights, 12-2 in league play, will host Southern Indiana on Tuesday in a non-conference contest.
