Name: Lovie Jung
Sport: Softball
Year: RS Senior
Position: Shortstop
Jersey: # 3
Hometown: Fountain Valley, Calif.
Why: After a weekend that saw the Wildcats go 3-0 with two wins in Westwood, Calif. against No. 1 UCLA, and a win in Seattle versus No. 4 Washington, Jung's individual performance was, once again, clutch.
On Sunday, in the top of the seventh inning, nursing a one-run lead, bases loaded, with the meat of the Bruins due up, Jung slapped the scoreboard in left field with the neon grapefruit.
Jung leads the Pac-10 in base-rounders (20) and has five loaded-base-clearers on the season. Jung is currently batting .442 with 44 runs, 50 hits, 15 doubles, 20 homers and 59 RBIs.
