Jeremy Adams has been named this week's Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Rookie of the Week, announced Monday afternoon from the league office in Norfolk, Virginia.
Adams, a 6-2, 170-pound freshman from Seminole, Florida, earned his first collegiate start on Sunday for the Maroon and Gold in the series finale at Mercer.

He was 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and three RBIs in the series opener, before going 3-for-5 with two doubles in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader.
The Pitcher of the Week was Trevor McKenna of Savannah State that threw six no-hit innings in a season-opening 2-0 win over Delaware State, striking out seven Hornets and walking just one.
