Norfolk State Brandon Tanner Selected MEAC Baseball Player of the Week

Norfolk State outfielder Tanner Brandon was named the MEAC Player of the Week on Monday, as announced by the conference office.

Brandon hit .545 (6-for-11) to lead NSU to a series win over NJIT. Brandon hit two doubles, stole two bases, drove in two runs and hit his first homer as a Spartan in the series. On Friday, he went 2-for-3 with a solo homer in the first Spartan win of the weekend, then tallied a season-high three hits (3-for-4) with two doubles in Saturday’s win.

A first-year Spartan who transferred from Bluefield State, Brandon leads the MEAC with five doubles so far this year. All six of his extra-base hits on the year have come in NSU’s last five games.
