Columbia, S.C. – South Carolina freshman Lonnie Chisenhall has been named Rivals.com Freshman of the Week after a strong opening weekend with the Garnet and Black. Chisenhall hit .500 (7-for-14) with three runs, a homer and seven RBI and also tied two single game school records in Saturday’s win over the Hilltoppers with two triples and two sacrifice flies.

The freshman from Newport, N.C. hit safely in all three games and tallied at least two hits in each contest along with two multi-RBI games. He became only the 13th player in school history to have two triples in one game and the first since Steven Tolleson did it in 2005.
