Jones Tabbed PBC Freshman of the Week

AIKEN, S.C. - USC Aiken freshman third baseman Lindsey Jones concluded her first weekend in a Pacer uniform as the Peach Belt Conference Freshman of the Week. The league office made the announcement on Tuesday afternoon.

Jones finished USC Aiken's two shutout wins over Queens hitting .667 (4-for-6). She scored one run and had an RBI.

Jones collected a double in USC Aiken's game one win over Queens on Valentine's Day to help end her inaugural two games in Pacer duds with an .833 slugging percentage.

In total in game one, the North Augusta High School product was 3-for-3. She drove in one of USC Aiken's two runs in the contest.

In the second game, Jones was 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored.

Jones presently leads the PBC in batting average and on-base percentage.

Due to high winds and expected frigid temperatures throughout the course of the scheduled doubleheader, USC Aiken's softball twinbill with Erskine scheduled for today has been pushed back one day to Wednesday, Feb. 17.

The USC Aiken-Erskine doubleheader will now begin at 2 p.m. tomorrow.

Nationally-ranked USC Aiken opened its season on Valentine's Day by sweeping the Royals of Queens University (N.C.) at home at J.H. Satcher Field with two 2-0 victories that saw four different Pacers score. 

The shutouts started the Pacers' season at 2-0.

After the rescheduled Erskine doubleheader, the Pacers will conclude their week with two road doubleheaders against South Atlantic Conference programs. The Pacers road swing begins with a twinbill against Newberry on Thursday, Feb. 18 in Newberry, S.C. First pitch from the circle is slated for 2 p.m.

USC Aiken then finishes things on the week by traveling to Catawba for a doubleheader on Saturday, Feb. 20. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m.
