NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vanderbilt freshman Brodie Johnston is this week’s SEC Co-Freshman of the Week, the conference announced Monday.
Johnston became the first Commodore since at least 2011 to hit two home runs in one inning on Friday against Xavier. The freshman hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning before launching a walk-off grand slam later in the same frame to send the Dores home with a 15-3, run-rule win.
For the week, Johnston went 6-for-15 (.400) with two home runs, a double, nine RBI and five runs scored.
The Commodores are 13-3 and will host Valparaiso at Hawkins Field on Tuesday before beginning SEC action with a three-game series at Auburn this weekend.
