Mississippi State sophomore right fielder Brent Rooker was selected as the Southeastern Conference Player of the Week following his contributions to the 15th-ranked Bulldogs’ 4-0 run last week.
Rooker went 7-for-12 at the plate with a double, two home runs, seven RBIs and four runs scored. His pinch-hit two-run double in the bottom of the sixth plated the go-ahead runs for MSU against South Alabama.
Rooker also collected a career-best three hits in both the Friday and Sunday wins over Oregon and has homered twice in his last nine at bats.
