Pitcher
of the Week
Brett
Shulick, Fairfield University
Sr.,
RHP, 5-11, 190, Stratford, CT/Bunnell
Shulick
turned in a masterful pitching performance in the Stags' 13-1 victory over
Niagara on Sunday to complete the series sweep. Shulick scattered three hits
and struck out a season-high seven batters in 8.0 shutout innings. Shulick, who
needed just 76 pitches for his fourth victory of the year, did not walk a
batter or allow an extra base hit during his outing. Shulick flirted with a
perfect game through 4.2 innings, retiring the first 14 batters of the game.
After allowing back-to-back singles in the fifth, Shulick retired
eight-straight batters until giving up a one-out hit in the eighth inning.
Rookie
of the Week
Michael
Scarinci, Manhattan
Fr.,
RHP, 6-0, 190, Nanuet, N.Y./Pearl River
Scarinci was spectacular on Sunday as he
delivered a complete game two-hitter to help lift the Jaspers to a 7-0 victory
at Canisius to take the MAAC series. It completed only the second MAAC series victory over the
Golden Griffins on their home field, the Demske Sports
Complex, in the last three years. Scarinci carried a perfect game into the
sixth inning as he sat down 15 batters in order. The only thing that got in his
way of perfection was a pair of infield hits in the last two frames. Scarinci
faced the minimum 21 batters of the seven inning affair, and he did not allow
the Griffs to touch second base in the entire contest. The right hander from
Nanuet, N.Y. finished the game with 4 strikeouts and he did not give up a walk.
Scarinci forced Canisius into 13 ground outs with two double plays as he
secured his first career complete game shutout.
