Walking it Off: Janusek Named Player of the Week

The walkoff hero in Thursday’s win over the San Diego Waves, Brady Janusek, has been named the Player of the Week by the Santa Barbara coaching staff. A bit of luck helped Janusek get the opportunity, as the Waves thought they had the third out of the ninth on a force play at second base. A walk then loaded the bases for Janusek, who pulled a line drive down the left field line, clearing the bases and turning a two-run deficit into a one-run walkoff win. 

After his freshman year at Baylor, Janusek has been a threat for the ‘Sters in every which way. He has five runs scored and five stolen bags to go along with seven RBIs in just eight games.

On the other side of the ball, Noah Waldeck was named Pitcher of the Week for Santa Barbara.

The Foresters play six consecutive games at Eddie Mathews Field this week, with the MLB Academy Barons up first on the docket.
