Vanderbilt’s Jeren Kendall was named one of the Louisville Slugger National Players of the Week and the SEC Player of the Week after a monster opening weekend of the season.

Kendall, a preseason All-American, went 10-for-15 (.667) with three home runs and 10 RBIs in the Commodores’ three-game sweep of San Diego to earn his first national honor and second weekly award.

Kendall had two home runs, four hits, five RBIs and three runs scored – all career highs – in Friday’s opening win. He added three hits, including a two-run single, on Saturday. And then he blasted another homer and scored three runs on Sunday.

Vanderbilt (3-0) will host UT-Martin (2-2) at 4 p.m. Tuesday at Hawkins Field.
