ATLANTA - Austin Canale of the Belhaven Baseball team was tabbed the Collegiate Conference of the South Rookie of the Week for the second straight week after helping the Blazers to a pair of wins over the last seven days.

Canale has quickly emerged as one of the Blazers' top threats at the plate in his freshman season. On the week, the Belhaven shortshop went 8-for-20 (.400) with a double, four RBI, four runs scored, and three stolen bases. In Saturday's 19-3 win at Maryville, Canale led the Blazers with a 4-for-6 day at the plate from the leadoff spot.

On the campaign, the Mandeville, Louisiana native is hitting .438 with two doubles, a triple, and 11 RBI while ranking third on the team in hits with 21.

Canale and the Blazers return home this week for a midweek matchup against Stevens before hosting Piedmont for a three-game set this weekend.
