ROCK HILL, S.C. --- Tusculum University outfielder Wes Reynolds has been named the South Atlantic Conference Varsity Gems Baseball Player of the Week.
Reynolds, a senior from Cherryville, North Carolina, hit a home run in each of his four games last weekend to lead the Pioneers to a perfect 4-0 record. He batted .385 on the week where he had 10 RBI with eight runs scored and a 1.385 slugging percentage. He drew five walks and recorded a stolen base.
He opened the week with a 2-for-3 performance at Carson-Newman as he posted a double and a home run in Tusculum's 10-4 non-conference win over the Eagles. He also had two RBI and scored three runs.
In Tusculum's three-game sweep over Shorter, Reynolds homered in each game and finished the series with eight RBI. He also scored five runs and drew three walks.
Reynolds' four home runs this year are the most in the conference and tied for second in the country.
