The BLITZ Softball Player of the Week Fan Vote tallied some 25,414 total votes, with Commerce’s Kylee Taylor taking 12,795 to win the POW Fan Vote. BLITZ then named Dawson County’s Olivia Martinez as co-POW.

KYLEE TAYLOR – FAN VOTE

Coming back from an injury is hard enough. Coming back and making an impact is even more difficult. Commerce senior Kylee Taylor came back from a broken collarbone, and wasted no time. She hit .500, driving in 3 runs, scoring 4, and adding a pair of walks in Lady Tigers’ games against Elbert, Heard, Central Carrollton, and LFO. This is Taylor’s first POW award.

OLIVIA MARTINEZ – BLITZ PICK

Olivia Martinez last won a POW award in her freshman season. It’s just by chance she hasn’t won one since, as she’s had a more than solid career. Last week, the Dawson County senior batted .636, going 7-for-11 with 2 HR, 7 RBI, and a double.
