Tiffanie Burns has earned Peach Belt Conference Freshman of the Week honors after leading the North Georgia College & State University to a 7-1 record over the past week, the conference office announced Monday evening.

This past week North Georgia swept Bellarmine on Wednesday, West Georgia on Thursday and completed the two-game weekend sweep of No. 1-ranked Alabama-Huntsville this weekend. The Saints also played the University of Charleston twice, splitting with the Golden Eagles.

Burns hit .300 in the eight games and led the team in RBI’s with 12. She hit three home runs, two of them three-run bombs, and finished the week with a .750 slugging percentage. Burns also held a .440 on-base percentage.

Burns is now fifth in the Peach Belt Conference in home runs (six), eighth in RBI’s (24) and 10th in slugging percentage (.616).
