St. John’s outfielder Paul Orbon earned his first career BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll selection, as announced by the conference on Monday afternoon.

Orbon also captured the team’s first weekly award of the season after a stellar weekend in New Orleans, helping the Johnnies to a 2-1 record against Tulane. The New Hyde Park, N.Y., native went 5-for-12 in three games, slashing .417/.417/.750 with three RBIs and two runs scored.

Well-known for his clutch gene, Orbon slapped the eventual game-winning RBI single for the second straight weekend, guiding the Red Storm to a 6-5 come-from-behind win over the Green Wave on February 24.

In game two, the redshirt junior produced a 3-for-4 day at the dish, scoring the game-tying run in the sixth inning before St. John’s took down the Green Wave, 7-3. Orbon closed out the weekend slate with a two-run shot in the series finale.

Through six appearances, Orbon paces the team with a .471 batting average to go with eight hits, four RBIs and two runs scored.
