Senior Righty Taylor Kosakowski Named Northeast Conference Co-Pitcher of the Week

Central Connecticut senior right hander Taylor Kosakowski was named the Northeast Conference Co-Pitcher of the Week, it was announced on Monday by the NEC office. The Blue Devils went 3-1 over the weekend, including a win by Kosakowski, and defeated Iona twice and split two games at Navy. CCSU's game on Wednesday at Hartford has been postponed. The Blue Devils will be in action again this weekend playing three games at George Washington, beginning on Friday.

Kosakowski had a great first start of the season for the Blue Devils in an 8-1 victory over Iona on Sunday morning. He went six innings, allowing no runs, just six hits and struck out eight Gael batters in earning his first victory of the season. All six hits by the Gaels were singles and only one batter reached third base in his six innings pitched. Six of his strikeouts were swinging k's.

Kosakowski, who was 2-3 last season for the Blue Devils, retired the side in order twice and forced two double plays in the win.

CCSU returns to action this weekend at George Washington.
