Jones claims his second Akadema/NEC Rookie of the Week award of the year after sparking the Blackbirds to three wins in four games over the weekend at Fairleigh Dickinson. For the week, Jones hit .429 with a double, a homer, four runs scored, eight RBI and two stolen bases. He also earned the win on Saturday after striking out five in five innings of work in LIU’s 9-5 win over the Knights. Jones, who knocked in at least one run in all five games last week, homered in the series opener against FDU and finished the afternoon 3-5 with three RBI. A local product out of Brooklyn, Jones is hitting .288 on the year and leads the Blackbirds with three triples and 32 RBI.
