BATON ROUGE — LSU senior second baseman Clay Harris was named Monday as the SEC Player of the Week by the league office.
Harris, a native of Slidell, La., led the 12th-ranked Tigers to three wins in four games last week, including an SEC series victory over Ole Miss.
Harris enjoyed a phenomenal week at the plate, batting .625 (10-for-16) in four games with three doubles, two homers and seven RBI. He launched a ninth-inning, walk-off solo homer to lift the Tigers to a 7-6 on Saturday against Ole Miss. Harris also unloaded a grand slam in Friday’s game versus the Rebels.
For the entire Ole Miss series, he hit .667 (8-for-12) with two doubles, two homers and seven RBI, posting a 1.333 slugging percentage and a .714 on-base percentage.
Harris is hitting .392 (58-for-148) on the year with 13 doubles, one triple, seven homers and 38 RBI.
The SEC Player of the Week honor is the second of Harris’ career. He received the same recognition on April 5, 2004, after leading LSU to a series victory at Auburn.
