Wright State softball freshman Payton Baxter has been named the Horizon League's Player of the Week, the league announced on Monday afternoon.

Payton Baxter led the Raiders with a .583 batting average and a 1.250 slugging percentage as Wright State went 2-2 in the Scotsman Invitational over the weekend. The freshman had a pair of multi-hit games, including a 2-for-3 showing at the plate with four runs and three driven in courtesy of a two-out, three-run homerun in a five inning win over Wagner. She later recorded a two-run RBI single against Presbyterian, going 2-for-2 and driving in three runs.

The Raiders are 5-8 so far this season and will travel to Tempe, Arizona later this week to take part in the ASU Invitational facing off against five different opponents over three days.
