South Dakota State’s Nolan Grawe earns Peak Performer of the Week

South Dakota State third baseman Nolan Grawe was selected Monday as the Kwik Star Summit League Baseball Peak Performer of the Week.

A freshman from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Grawe recorded multiple hits in each of the Jackrabbits’ first five games in a busy week of action. He compiled a .480 batting average by going 12-for-21 with six runs batted in and seven runs scored.

Grawe opened the week by going 3-for-3 with an RBI and four runs scored in an April 22 home win against Northwestern (Iowa), followed by a 2-for-4 performance a day later against Creighton in which he hit his second home run of the season.

To open a four-game Summit League series against rival North Dakota State, Grawe went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored. He then tallied two hits in both games of an April 26 doubleheader, driving in a total of three runs.

Grawe also compiled a .536 on-base percentage and a .680 slugging percentage as he added a pair of doubles in the six games played during the week.

South Dakota State returns to action by hosting Northern Colorado in a three-game series May 2-4.
