Extra Inning Softball National High School Player of the Week

After an outstanding week, Amira Rodriquez has been selected as the Extra Inning Softball National High School Player of the Week. Rodriquez plays for Harlingen High School South in Harlingen, Texas.

Rodriquez helped the Hawks remain undefeated in District 32-5A play (16-0) as well as extend their winning streak to 18 straight.

Rodriquez, who has committed to Washington, was perfect at the plate in three games as she went 9-for-9 on the week and had two home runs and drove in 12 runs.

Her week was highlighted in a 10-0 victory over Lopez. Rodriquez went 4-for-4 and hit for the cycle in leading the Hawks to the victory. She singled in the first, doubled in the third, tripled in the fifth and capped the day with a three-run, walk-off home run.
