Senior Sean Allaire was named the Northeast Conference baseball
player of the week for the second time this season on Monday.
Allaire, who hit an amazing .654 at the plate last week in six
games, becomes the second Blue Devil to win the award twice this
season. Classmate Tommy Meade has also won the award twice in
2010. Allaire and the Blue Devils went 3-3 last week, and
currently sit at 10-10 in NEC play this season.
Allaire was an opposing pitcher's nightmare last week. He totaled
17 hits and struck out only once during a six-game sample.
Continuing to raise his league-leading batting average, Allaire hit
.654 (17-for-26) with six doubles, one triple, and one home
run.
His first 10 official at-bats of the week resulted in hits.
Allaire went 5-for-5 with five runs scored and three RBI in CCSU's
17-12 win over Massachusetts. The following day, his five hits and
two RBI helped the Blue Devils to a 16-7 win over Fairfield.
Allaire continued his tear during CCSU's weekend NEC series against
Quinnipiac. He went 7-for-15 (.467) at the plate against the
Bobcats while hitting safely in all four games. He scored three
runs in Friday's series opener before recording four hits in eight
at-bats during Saturday's doubleheader. He stroked a double during
the third inning of the nightcap, plating CCSU's first run in an
eventual 8-4 victory.
Allaire is currently among the leading hitters in the country,
batting .473 with 61 hits in 129 at-bats. He leads the Blue Devils
in average, hits, doubles (15), triples (5), RBI (44), slugging
percentage (.783), on-base percentage (.535), total bases (101),
sacrifice flies (5) and is third on the team in home runs (5). He
has raised his career average to .356 in the process.
