A very productive week at the plate earned LSU catcher Cade Arrambide co-SEC Player of the Week honors and a spot on the Baseball America Team of the Week. The announcement came early in the week. This comes after a road series win over the Tennessee Volunteers and a midweek run-rule win over Southern.
Arrambide shared the honor with Tre Phelps of Georgia, and Baseball America recognizes the top performances in the country each week with its College Team of the Week. The honor roll features players at every position, including the top-performing two-way player and four pitchers.
The Tomball, Texas product batted .600 (6-for-10) in three games last week with four homers, eight RBI, six runs, three walks, and a .692 on-base percentage. He led LSU to a series victory at Tennessee, establishing the school’s single-game home runs record by smashing four homers on Sunday in the Tigers’ series-clinching 16-6 win over the Vols.
That four home run performance on the road made Arrambide just the fourth player in SEC history to hit four homers in a game, and he was 5-for-6 on the day with seven RBI, three solo homers, and a grand slam that highlighted LSU’s 10-run outburst in the top of the 12th inning.
Arrambide’s first homer on Sunday came in the fifth inning with LSU trailing 5-0 and began the Tigers’ comeback from the deficit. His second homer in the seventh inning reduced Tennessee’s lead to 5-3, and his third homer gave LSU a 6-5 advantage in the top of the 11th.
After Tennessee tied the game in the bottom of the 11th, Arrambide’s grand slam in the 12th provided LSU with an 11-6 lead and highlighted a 10-run uprising in the 16-6 victory.
