BREVARD, N.C. - Brevard College Baseball freshmen Samuel Goude and Brandin Johnson have swept the USA South Conference's weekly rookie awards following the completion of the Tornados' weekend series at Guilford College. 

 

Goude was selected as the USA South Baseball Rookie Pitcher of the Week, while Johnson was tabbed the USA South Baseball Rookie Player of the Week. 

 

Monday's announcement marks the second-consecutive week that BC Baseball has been honored by the USA South. Goude's and Johnson's selections mark the 13th and 14th

times respectively that a Tornado student-athlete has won a weekly award from the USA South in the 2019-20 academic year. 

 

Goude, a freshman right-handed pitcher from Georgetown, South Carolina, earned his first collegiate victory in BC's first win of 2020 on Saturday afternoon against Guilford. Goude worked 3.1 innings against the Quakers, allowing just three hits and shutting out Guilford while notching a strikeout in the process.

Johnson, a freshman infielder from Macon, Georgia, went a combined 4-for-12 (.333) with a .385 on-base percentage and a .583 slugging percentage offensively for BC. He sparked Brevard's offense with a bases-clearing, three-RBI double in the Tornados' 12-11 extra-inning victory over the Quakers. All told, Johnson totaled three runs scored, three RBI, one double, one triple and one stolen base in the series.

 

Brevard will return to action as the Tornados host their first home and conference series within the confines of Gil Coan Field. Brevard will play host to defending USA South Baseball Regular Season Champion Piedmont College in a three-game, three-day series that begins on Friday, February 21 at 2 p.m.
