Bridges really made a name for himself as Kentucky Wesleyan made its 2017 G-MAC Championship run with dazzling speed in the outfield and spraying line drives at Prasco Park for extra bases.
The rising junior was on patrol again for the Panthers in a three-game series against UIndy with a 7-for-15 line at the plate. He doubled in each contest and had at least two hits in each game against the Greyhounds.
Bridges also made a gold-glove caliber grab out in center field, sprinting in to snare a sinking line drive during Sunday’s doubleheader action.
KWC enjoyed a game one victory in the series walk-off style as Andrew Kirkland went yard to give the Panthers a 5-4 win.
Bridges is now a .332 career hitter, moving into the top 20 all-time in conference history for those players with at least 250 at-bats. He also ranks top 20 in hits and RBI and is already fifth in career triples with nine.
