Baseball Player of the Week
Dan Sullivan / University of Tampa / Jr. / First Base / Palatine, Illinois
Sullivan collects Player of the Week after slashing .500/.538/.800 during a three-game set at Eckerd. The Palatine, Illinois product went 5-for-10 at the plate, with six runs batted in and two runs scored. Nearly all of Sullivan’s offensive production came in game two, where he connected on a go-ahead grand slam and later provided an insurance RBI. Defensively, the first baseman had 24 putouts and an assist in 25 chances while also helping the Spartans turn two double plays. The weekly award is the second of his career.
Baseball Pitcher of the Week
John Barone / Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University / So. / Wayne, New York
Barone is selected Pitcher of the Week after leading ERAU to a win over Barry in the Eagles’ final game of the season. The righty held Barry to no hits through 6.1 innings, ultimately completing 7.0 innings of work with no runs, one hit, and five walks allowed. The Wayne, New York native, struck out two and held opposing batters to a .048 average as Embry-Riddle secured a 4-2 win.
