NEW ORLEANS, La. - South Alabama sophomore outfielder Rett Johnson earns his first player of the week award off a .625 week at the plate.
Starting the week 7 for 7 at the plate with a walk, Johnson worked on base three times in Friday night's game, and hit his first home run of the season to tie the game during the series-clinching win over Texas State. During his four-RBI Thursday night game, Johnson struck a two-rbi single in the first inning to put the Jags ahead, singled and scored in the third inning, singled again in the fourth, laid down a sacrifice bunt in the sixth to put two runners in scoring position, then scored two more Jags with a two-RBI single.
