NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University's redshirt sophomore Cole Johnson was named Player of the Week by the Tennessee Sports Writers Association after posting a .528 batting average and hitting three home runs in baseball's sixth week of action, the organization announced Tuesday.
In four games last week at Ole Miss and over the weekend against Lipscomb, Johnson finished the week going 9-for-17 at the plate with five extra-base hits, including three home runs and a pair of doubles.
The Austin, Texas native posted two doubles at Ole Miss (March 17) with two RBI. Then, in the series opener against Lipscomb, he went 4-for-5 with a career-high five RBI, hitting a solo homer and a grand slam in back-to-back plate appearances in the second and third innings.
This is Johnson's second TSWA Player of the Week honor, after earning his first honor a season ago on May 6.
