of the Week
Mike
Fish, Siena College
Jr.,
OF, 6-1, 185, Lititz, PA/Warwick
Fish had a monster week in Siena's sweep of Niagara, batting .667
(8-for-12) with two home runs, seven RBI, four runs scored and a 1.167 slugging
percentage. He started the weekend with a bang, launching a three-run home run
that set the stage for Siena's big weekend in his first at bat. He went 3-for-4
in the 7-4 series-opening win with two runs scored and three RBI. In the second
game, he finished 2-for-3 with an RBI, singling in the first and second innings
as the Saints jumped out to a quick 5-2 lead and held on. In the dramatic
series finale, Fish went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored
helping Siena come all the way back to post an 11-10 win in 10 innings. Fish's
two-run homer in the third put Siena on the board for the first time, he
singled and stole a base in the fifth, and
singled home a run in the Saints' key six-run sixth. Fish also had eight
putouts and an assist in centerfield without committing an error, and posted a
.714 on-base percentage.
