Freshman second baseman JaCoby Jones was named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week today.
 
Jones went 6-for-8 in the LSU baseball team’s weekend sweep of Holy Cross with a home run, a double, four RBIs, four runs and two steals. He also had a 1.000 fielding percentage.
 
He hit .636 from the No. 9 spot in the lineup last week to raise his season batting average to a team-best .571.
 
LSU (7-0) outscored Holy Cross during the weekend, 41-10, moving up one spot in the Baseball America poll, which was released today, from No. 20 to No. 19.
 
Three SEC teams are in the top four of the national rankings. Florida remained in the No. 1 spot, Vanderbilt moved up one spot to No. 2 and South Carolina moved up three spots to No. 4.
 
Cal State Fullerton, who the Tigers play March 11-13, rose from No. 12 to No. 7.
