ATLANTA-Georgia State baseball standout Elian Merejo led the Panthers to a perfect 3-0 opening weekend and was named the Georgia State Student-Athlete of the Week on Monday.
Merejo went 7-for-11 with two homers, two doubles, seven RBI and seven runs scored to lead Georgia State to a perfect start under first-year head coach Brad Stromdahl. The Panthers swept three games against 2019 NCAA Regional team Cincinnati, St. John's and Saint Peter's, and Merejo figured prominently in all three wins.
The senior designated hitter was also walked five times in the three games, including three intentional walks.
