Freshman of the Week: R.J. Dennard, Armstrong

Dennard hit .500 in four games last week with a .714 slugging percentage and five RBIs.  The freshman hit .545 (6-for-11) in a three-game sweep of #3 USC Aiken, nearly hitting for the cycle in the second game as he singled, doubled and tripled, driving in four and scoring twice.  He drove in another in the series finale, going 2-for-4.  He collected a hit in all four Pirate games, scoring five runs in total and drawing three walks for a .588 on-base percentage.  Dennard is now third in the Peach Belt with a .405 batting average and also third in on-base percentage and sixth in RBIs.
