LSU senior second baseman/pitcher Austin Bain was named SEC Baseball Co-Player of the Week Monday by the league office. He shared the honor with Florida infielder JJ Schwarz.
Bain, a product of Geismar, La., led LSU to a 4-0 record last week, batting .500 (9-for-18) with two doubles, two runs and eight RBI. He also earned a save in LSU’s 2-0 win over Louisiana Tech on Tuesday night, firing a perfect ninth inning to preserve the victory.
In LSU’s three-game SEC weekend sweep over Tennessee, Bain hit .533 (8-for-15) with two doubles, two runs and eight RBI.
