Hohenstein hit an even .500 over five games (four starts) last week for Siena, going an impressive 8-16 at the plate with seven runs scored, two homers, and three RBI. Four of his eight hits went for extra bases and, probably equally as impressive, he did not strikeout in any of his 16 at-bats. Hohenstein amassed a whopping 1.529 OPS, powered by a 1.000 slugging percentage. He recorded at least one hit in all five games last week and tallied multiple hit performances in three of five contests.

Rob Hensey dominated Fordham with eight shutout innings, tying a career best with 11 strikeouts. Only two Fordham batters reached second base and he did not walk a batter in recording the win.
 
Rookie of the Week
Dean Ferrara, Fairfield
Fr., Wyckoff, NJ, Ramapo
 
Ferrara had a hit in all three games for the Stags, hitting .385 including a three-hit game in the series opening win. He also drove in a run in all three games.
