By AccessWDUN Staff

The Piedmont baseball team had a pair of players named to the USA South Athlete of the Week list on Monday.

Junior Brady Ballstadt and senior Buddy Green were recognized for their performances this past week as the Lions posted a 5-0 week with two wins over Berry and three wins over conference rival Maryville.

Ballstadt was named Baseball Player of the Week after going 10-for-19 with a .583 on-base percentage and scored seven runs, stole three bases and brought in four players.

In Tuesday's doubleheader sweep against Berry College, Ballstadt had two hits, three runs, two RBI and one stolen base. In Piedmont's three-game sweep against No. 17 Maryville, the Suwanee native totaled eight hits, four runs, two RBI, one home run and two stolen bases.

Green makes his first appearance on the Athletes of the Week list after being named Pitcher of the Week. The Sharpsburg native pitched only 4 innings but recorded four saves while giving up two hits, two walks and striking out three.

Green also recorded two saves in one day as the Lions took care of Maryville, 4-3 and 6-5 on Friday.
