Furr named AstroTurf SAC Baseball Player of the Week

ROCK HILL, S.C. --- Tusculum University outfielder Fuzzy Furr has been named the AstroTurf South Atlantic Conference Baseball Player of the Week.

Furr, a senior outfielder from Marietta, Georgia, helped lead the Pioneers to a 3-1 series win over Mars Hill last week. In Tusculum's doubleheader sweep of the Lions on Saturday, Furr belted three home runs with a double, nine RBI, and five runs scored.

Furr opened the series going 2-for-4 with a double and a home run with four RBI in the Pioneers' 16-4 victory. In the second game, he belted two homers, scored three runs and tallied five RBI in TU's 16-8 win over Mars Hill.

He finished the week with a .667 batting average, a .714 on-base percentage, and a 2.333 slugging percentage.

Following Tuesday's non-conference home game with Lenoir-Rhyne, the Pioneers (10-2, 7-1 SAC) will host Queens University of Charlotte this weekend for a four-game SAC series at Pioneer Park.
