Extra Inning Softball National High School Player of the Week

After an outstanding week at the plate, Aniyah Merritt has been selected as the Extra Inning Softball National High School Player of the Week. Merritt plays for Lumberton Senior High School in Lumberton, N.C.

Merritt was named the Most Valuable Player in helping to lead Lumberton to the title at the Robeson County Slugfest.

She batted .833 (10-for-12) in three games as the Pirates posted victories over North Brunswick, St. Pauls and East Columbus. Merritt also had nine stolen bases, six runs scored and one RBI.

Her one RBI on the weekend came in a critical situation as she delivered a walk-off triple leading Lumberton to a 2-1 victory over North Brunswick in the tournament opener.
