BASEBALL'S LAMBIN GETS PLAYER OF THE WEEK...May 13, 2002

LAFAYETTE -- After arguably the best power day in school history, Louisiana-Lafayette senior shortstop Chase Lambin has been named the Sun Belt Conference Hitter of the Week the league announced Monday.

Lambin, who transferred from the University of Texas, went 4-for-4 with three home runs and seven RBIs in the Cajuns' 15-8 win over 18th-ranked South Alabama Saturday. He also set a school record with 14 total bases, and his three round trippers tied a Cajun single-game record.

The Houston, Texas, native hit safely in each of the Cajuns' four games last week -- extending his hitting streak to 12 games. The streak is the longest by a Cajun this year.

Lambin went 6-for-12 with five extra-base hits during the USA series. He is the second Cajun to receive the weekly offensive award. Left fielder Bryan Sneed took the award last month.
