Tommy White Named ACC, National Player Of The Week

After a sensational weekend at the plate in his collegiate debut, NC State baseball's Tommy White earned Player of the Week honors from the Atlantic Coast Conference and Collegiate Baseball on Monday afternoon.
 
The St. Pete Beach, Fla., native batted .643 on the weekend, going 9-for-14 with five home runs and 12 runs batted in. In Friday's 24-6 win over Evansville, he belted three home runs, and then followed up his impressive outing with a grand slam in Saturday's 6-4 win and a two-run shot in Sunday's 7-0 shutout victory.
 
His three home runs on Friday were the most by an NC State player since 2010, and it was only the second time accomplished by a Wolfpack player since 1999.
 
NC State will continue its home stand Tuesday when it hosts High Point in the first of two midweek contests. First pitch is set for 3 p.m. at Doak Field at Dail Park, and the contest will be broadcast on the ACCNX with an audio stream on WKNC 88.1.
