BATON ROUGE — LSU sophomore right fielder Jon Zeringue and Louisiana-Lafayette senior pitcher Andy Gros earned Louisiana Sports Writers Association Player of the Week honors announced Tuesday.
Zeringue batted a team high .533 (8-for-15) with two home runs, four RBI, eight runs scored and a .933 slugging percentage in the Tigers’ four games last week.
The Thibodaux native collected his second 4-for-4 game in a span of 16 days in Tuesday’s win over Loyola, also tying a season and career high by scoring three runs. Zeringue was also 4-for-4 with three runs scored in an April 27 victory over Tennessee.
He collected his first career two home run game in Friday’s 6-5 win over Auburn in the series opener, become only the second different LSU player to hit two home runs in a game since the start of the 2002 season.
Gros went 2-0 for the second consecutive week with an ERA of 1.59. The Cajun left-hander from Morgan City pitched 11.1 innings, allowing just three runs (two earned) on 11 hits with five strikeouts.
Gros is now 6-6 on the year with a 3.96 ERA. He picked up a win against Nicholls State last Wednesday allowing just one unearned run in three innings and held Arkansas State to just two runs on eight hits in 8.1 innings to get the win and help Louisiana Lafayette complete a three-game sweep.
