Atlanta, GA., -- Edward Waters senior outfielder Torry Jones was announced as the SIAC Baseball Player of the Week after his stellar performances for the Tigers in four contests last week.

Jones was explosive with the bat in the Tigers 2-1 series victory over Florida Memorial. The Preseason SIAC Second-Team selection hit two home runs and drove in five as Edward Waters defeated Florida Memorial 13-12 in the opening game of the series. Jones homered in the second and sixth innings.

In the second game of the doubleheader, the Edward Waters Tigers jumped out to the lead in the top of the first inning after Torry Jones singled, scoring one run. And in EWU's lone loss of the weekend he led EWU with three hits.

Jones Is currently second in the league with 12 hits and tied for the conference lead with two homers. His .462 batting average leads the Tigers and is tied for sixth in the SIAC.

Jones and his fellow Tigers will return to the diamond this weekend with a three game home series against LeMoyne-Owen.
