Eagle first baseman hit .556 in the season's opening weekend
NEW ORLEANS - Ryan Cleveland was named Sun Belt Baseball Player of the Week after an impressive opening week of the season. The Eagle senior hit .556 in the first three games of the year with seven RBIs. The Eagles face Georgia Tech on Tuesday night before hosting Georgia for a three game series this weekend.
The Eagle first baseman was issued four walks in the opener, tagging his other plate appearance for a double and a run scored. In game two, Cleveland laced a ninth inning bases loaded double into the right field corner to score three runs and tie the game which was eventually won in the 10th.
On Sunday he went 2-for-3 (with another double), driving in three runs. The first run came via a sacrifice fly, the remaining two were insurance runs the senior plated with a double in a four-run seventh inning.
The Eagles welcome Georgia to Jack Stallings Field at J.I. Clements Stadium this weekend for a three game series between the Eagles and Bulldogs. First pitch on Friday night is set for 6:30 p.m.
