EDITOR’S NOTE: At some time Thursday morning, a glitch occurred in the poll wiping out hundreds of votes for two players. Attempts rectify the issue were unsuccessful, but we did learn the cause and will try to avoid future errors. We apologize for issue.

The poll has ended.

Congratulations to Jaeleigh Childers of Warren East on topping the fan vote for Kentucky.com Softball Player of the Week. The Herald-Leader would like to also recognize Lacey Osborne of Anderson County and Breeanna Crank of East Jessamine, whose vote totals were inadvertently reset by a system glitch on Thursday morning.

Thanks for voting. A new poll will post next week.
