WASHINGTON – Saint Joseph's freshman infielder Tim Dickinson was named the Atlantic 10 Baseball Rookie of the Week, the league office announced on Monday afternoon.
 
Dickinson hit safely in all three games last week as the Hawks took two of three from preseason favorites and league-leaders Saint Louis.  On Saturday, he went 3-for-3 and reached base five times, scoring three runs and driving in two more, as the Hawks topped the Billikens, 9-1.
 
The Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, native then ripped his first collegiate home run in the first inning on Sunday, giving the Hawks a lead they would not relinquish as SJU won the series with a 7-3 triumph.  Dickinson collected three RBI and scored a run on the day; for the weekend, he posted a .600 batting average with a .714 on-base percentage and a .900 slugging percentage.
 
The Hawks are scheduled to host Delaware this week before heading to Rhode Island for a weekend conference series.
