Harris earns SEC player of the week

by SID - Vanderbilt shortstop Brian Harris was just named the Southeastern Conference player of the week by the league office Monday after helping the Commodores to a 4-1 record last week.

In those games, the 'Dores lead-off hitter was 10-of-22 (.455) with three doubles, two homers, seven RBI and seven runs. He drew a 3-2 bases loaded walk to bring in the tying run in the ninth with two outs at Louisville Wednesday in a game VU would win 4-3 in 10 innings.

The Nashville native accounted for three RBI in that road win and then went 8-for-13 (.615) with two doubles, two homers, four RBI and five runs scored in leading Vanderbilt to a sweep of Mississippi State. He is now tied for second in the SEC with 16 doubles.
