This week, Saint Joseph’s right-hander Frank Ciccone takes home our Division I Pitcher of the Week honors after delivering a career-best outing on Friday. The junior ace pitched into the ninth inning, leading the Hawks to a 5-3 victory over Richmond at Smithson Field. Ciccone was dominant, working eight-plus innings while surrendering just two earned runs on four hits. He also struck out a career-high 11 batters, stifling a Richmond lineup that entered the weekend with a stellar 19-2 record. With his performance, he lowered his ERA to 2.73 over six starts this season.
On the offensive side, Penn’s Gavin Collins is our Division I Offensive Player of the Week. The sophomore outfielder played a pivotal role in the Quakers’ sweep of Harvard, finishing the week 7-for-15 at the plate with six RBIs, six runs scored, a double, and a home run. Collins has been a steady force in the Quakers’ lineup and is now hitting .314 on the season with two homers and 13 RBIs.
