For the second time in as many weeks, LSU shortstop Bianka Bell has been named the Southeastern Conference freshman softball player of the week.

Bell was given the title after she posted RBIs in all four of the Tigers’ games last week — one game at Florida State and a series against Arkansas in Fayetteville.

The four game RBI run extends Bell’s streak to eight games with an RBI, spanning back to the Tigers’ matchup against Southeastern Louisiana on March 26.

“Bianka has truly come into her own and been a big presence in our lineup over the last month,” said LSU coach Beth Torina in a news release. “She continues to amaze us with what she is capable of at the plate, and we’re extremely happy for her to win this award for the second straight week.”

The Florida native also hit her team-leading ninth home run of the season in game two against the Razorbacks, which puts her only four behind the SEC lead.

Bell is ranked No. 11 in the conference for RBIs with 36 runs batted in.

This is the first time in three seasons an LSU player has earned the title in consecutive weeks. Tiger All-American pitcher senior Rachele Fico accomplished the feat during the team’s 2010 campaign.

Bell’s performance the past two weeks helped propel the Tigers to a 6-2 record through her eight-game RBI streak.
