KU’s Brunansky named Big 12 player of week

Kansas University’s Jason Brunansky was named Big 12 Player of the Week on Monday, marking the first time the junior baseball center fielder has earned the recognition.

Brunansky, a native of Poway, Calif., hit .583 (7-for-12) with six runs scored, one double, one home run and three RBIs in KU’s series victory over Nebraska last weekend.
