ROSEMONT, Ill. - Chicago Dogs slugger Victor Roache was named the American Association's Player of the Week, the league announced on Monday.
The honor is Roache's third this season, previously earning the award on August 4th and June 3rd. Additionally, this is the seventh time on the year that a Dogs player earned Player of the Week honors.
Over seven games, Roache slashed a .462 batting average with three home runs, three doubles, eleven RBI and seven runs scored. Roache also racked up 24 total bases, a .923 slugging percentage and a 1.486 OPS. Roache's dynamite week guided the Dogs to a 5-2 record.
