UH's Donahue earns Big West Player of the Week honors
University of Hawai'i shortstop Jordan Donahue was named the Big West Baseball Field Player of the Week following a standout performance in the Rainbow Warriors' series win over UC San Diego.
The senior from Damien Memorial School slashed .500/.500/1.167 across three games, tallying six hits, eight RBIs, and three runs scored. It marks the first career weekly honor for Donahue from the conference.
Donahue capped his final home series with a memorable Senior Day showing, going 4-for-5 with a double, two home runs, five RBIs and three runs scored in Sunday's 13-2 victory that clinched a spot in the inaugural Big West Championship tournament. He blasted a grand slam in the third inning, followed by a solo homer in the fifth, and later stole home in the seventh.
Hawai'i (33-19, 16-14 Big West) secured the No. 4 seed in the postseason tournament and will face UC Santa Barbara in a single-elimination matchup on Wednesday in Fullerton, California.
First pitch is scheduled for 9 a.m. HST and will be streamed on ESPN+ with radio coverage on ESPN Honolulu.
Donahue enters the tournament hitting .279 with 18 RBIs and 21 runs scored on the season.
