Sullo Earns Second MASCAC Player, Fourth Conference Rookie Of The Week Honor This Season
Massachusetts Maritime freshman catcher Logan Sullo was named on Monday as the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference Baseball Player of the Week for the second time this season and Rookie of the Week for the fourth time this spring after helping lead the Buccaneers to their first league championship in 33 years last week.
Sullo, a resident of Acushnet, Mass. and a graduate of Bishop Stang High School, batted .529 (9-17) with three triples, a double, a home run and seven RBI in a 5-1 week for Massachusetts Maritime, including a two-out, three-run walk-off homer in a 7-6 nightcap victory over Framingham State last Wednesday to go with a two-run triple in a 7-3 nightcap triumph at Westfield State on Saturday that clinched the Buccaneers’ first MASCAC crown since 1982.
On the season, Sullo is batting .484 (30-62) with seven doubles, six triples, a pair of homers, 17 runs scored and 16 RBI for Head Coach Bob Corradi’s squad. Logan has registered an .889 slugging percentage (including a 1.118 performance last week) and a .573 on-base percentage in 19 contests, and he shared this week’s Rookie honor with Westfield State pitcher Nate Barnes.
The Buccaneers, who stand at 16-10 overall, return to action on Tuesday afternoon by hosting Coast Guard in a non-league outing at Commodore Hendy Field beginning at 3:30 p.m. EDT, and Massachusetts Maritime begins its quest for the 2015 MASCAC tournament title on Friday afternoon by hosting either Framingham State or Westfield State in a second round game at 3:00 p.m. EDT.
