TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (February 7, 2017) – Tallahassee Community College softball standout Kristin Gunter was recognized by Fastpitch News on Monday, earning Co-National Player of the Week honors for the NJCAA division. 

Gunter, a sophomore third baseman from Pensacola, Fla., earned the award after a record-setting weekend at the Triple Crown College Classic, where she helped the Eagles to three wins in four games. 

Gunter batted .400 (6-for-15) during the weekend event with six runs scored, four home runs and nine RBIs. 

Gunter hit a school-record three home runs in Saturday's 14-1 win over St. Johns River State College. She homered in three consecutive innings, beginning with a solo shot in the third then added three-run homers in both the fourth and fifth innings to cap a seven-RBI game. 

On Sunday, she added her fourth home run of the weekend in Tallahassee's 13-0 victory over Palm Beach State College and also helped the Eagles to a 6-0 win over NJCAA No. 13 Indian River State College. 

Gunter is currently batting .462 with four home runs and 11 RBIs through eight games.
