Columbia baseball’s Owen Estabrook recently shined in a weekend series against Kansas State, earning the Ivy League Player of the Week title. The junior player from Santa Barbara, California, excelled at the plate, going 4-for-10 with a homer and seven RBIs.
In the first game, Estabrook pulled off an impressive feat by securing five RBIs. He hit a home run in the fifth inning and later drove in two runs during a thrilling eighth inning that helped Columbia clinch a come-from-behind victory, 9-8.
His performance continued strong in the second game, where he had another hit and scored a run. He capped off the series with a two-run double in the finale, contributing to another solid outing.
Columbia’s pitching also shined, as junior right-hander Tomas Lopez threw seven shutout innings in the Friday night game. He allowed just three hits and struck out three batters, highlighting the team’s strong performance overall.
