Josh Smith earned his second Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week award after leading Georgia State to a sweep at Texas State as he hit .583 and slugged 1.250, including two homers, two doubles and five RBI in the three games.
In the series opener, Georgia State trailed 3-1 in the fourth inning when Smith blasted a three-run homer to send the Panthers to a 7-4 victory. Then in Game 2 of the doubleheader, he had two doubles and a single and scored two runs in the 9-4 win. The sophomore left fielder also made a leaping catch at the wall to prevent an extra base hit.
