Rockridge High School graduate Payton Brown tied a single-game school record by hitting three home runs in Western Illinois’ 15-7 win over Tennessee State in softball Monday.
In addition to the three homers, Brown drove in six runs in the win. The WIU sophomore shortstop is hitting .373 with 12 home runs and 34 RBI. Brown leads the Leathernecks in each of those statistical categories.
Brown was named Ohio Valley Conference Co-Player of the Week last week.
