Palmetto State Baseball team of the week, Feb. 2-8: Anderson



Anderson (6-0 for the week)
(went 3-0 vs. King; went 3-0 vs. Davis & Elkins)

The previous weekend's snowstorm delayed the start of Anderson's season - and that's about the only thing to slow the Trojans so far.

A 59-run outburst in the weekend sweep of Davis & Elkins capped a 6-0 week for coach P.J. Zocchi's club.

Anderson is batting .388 as a club with 92 runs scored in six games (15.3 average). The team on-base percentage is .510.

Braeden Harrison is batting .684 with 17 RBI in six games. Close behind are Myles Denton - who had eight of his 13 RBI in one game - and Gray Wells.

The pitching has been fine, too, getting shutouts on both ends of a Tuesday doubleheader with King.

Up next: at home against Augusta, 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Honorable mention: Denmark Tech played its first games since dropping baseball after the 2004 season.

Also considered
Claflin (2-0) - key homers in DH sweep at Clark Atlanta
Florence-Darlington Tech (4-0) - winning streak at eight
Francis Marion (3-1)
Lander (3-1)
North Greenville (4-0)
Spartanburg Methodist (4-0) - series sweep in Tyler Miller's first weekend
USC Aiken (3-1)
USC Sumter (2-1)
