Will Edmunson of Oral Roberts has been named the Kwik Star Peak Performer of the Week after a standout performance in the Summit League. He is the fourth Golden Eagle to win this honor this season, contributing significantly to ORU's recent success, including a sweep over South Dakota State. Edmunson also extended his hitting streak to 10 games, showcasing his offensive prowess alongside Omaha’s Maddox Meyer, who received the pitching honor.

By the Numbers
  • Edmunson batted .500 across four games last week and is on a 10-game hitting streak.
  • During the series against SDSU, he went 5-for-12 (.417) with two doubles, a homer, and six RBIs.
  • Meyer pitched five scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and striking out four.
Yes, But

Despite Edmunson's recent success, it's important to note that he had only four RBIs in ORU's first 24 games before his current seven-game streak. This variance raises questions about consistency for both Edmunson and the team moving forward.

State of Play
  • Oral Roberts achieved its fourth sweep in five Summit League series.
  • The team has improved its standing and showcases a strong offensive lineup.
What's Next

Edmunson will likely continue to be a key player for Oral Roberts as the team prepares for upcoming conference games. His performance could impact their chances for postseason play.

Bottom Line

Edmunson's recent achievements highlight not only his skills but also the potential of Oral Roberts in the Summit League. The team’s ability to maintain momentum and capitalize on Edmunson’s contributions will be crucial for their success this season.
