GREENVILLE, N.C. - Junior Harrison Eldridge was named to the College Baseball Foundation National Honor Roll after helping the No. 19 East Carolina Pirates to their 13th straight win after sweeping Memphis in Conference USA play.
The reigning C-USA Hitter-of-the-Week, batted .533 (8-for-15) on the week and helped the Pirates to a perfect 4-0 record. In three of his four games played, Eldridge collected two hits and scored two runs, while pushing his career multi-hit games to 43. In all, he scored eight runs from the lead-off spot in the batting order, had three RBI, four doubles and two walks, raising his batting average to .358, which ranks third on the team.
Eldridge joins fellow classmates T.J. Hose (3/13), Shane Mathews (3/20) and Dale Mollenhauer (3/20) as 2007 recipients of the national honor.
ECU (19-6) will host in-state rival UNC Wilmington Wednesday night at 7 p.m. in the final contest of its current 21-game home stand before heading to Tulane for a three-game series.
