Senior Sean Allaire was named the Akadema/Northeast Conference
baseball player of the week for the third time this season on
Monday. He was also named a Louisville Slugger national player of
the week for his performance last week. It is the third time this
season that he has been honored, the most of any player in the
league. Allaire and the Blue Devils went 4-2 last week and
currently sit at 12-12 in NEC action and 23-18 overall.
The senior shortstop/catcher accounted for nothing less than an
extra-base hit, two runs, and an RBI in each of Central's six
games. On his way to a .517 average over 29 at-bats, Allaire
smashed 15 hits, drove in 18 runs, and crossed home plate 15
times.
He slugged 1.310 over the six-game sample as 11 of his 15 hits went
for extra bases (6 HR, 5 2B). Allaire accounted for five hits and
five RBI in two mid-week wins over cross-state rivals Hartford and
Fairfield, but the NEC's leader in batting average (.448) was
nowhere near done. He went 10-for-17 (.588) at the plate with six
home runs, 11 runs scored, and 13 RBI during the Blue Devils'
four-game NEC series at Mount St. Mary's.
After belting a double and a homer in Friday's series-opening
setback, he powered CCSU to a doubleheader sweep on Saturday by
going 6-for-7 against with five extra-base hits, one walk, and one
hit-by-pitch. He homered twice in each of the two seven-inning
contests and drove in 10 runs on the day. Allaire went deep again
in Sunday's series finale, blasting a two-run, eighth-inning bomb
that tied the game at 13-13.
On the season Allaire leads the Northeast Conference in batting
average (.448), hits (77) and runs batted in (62) and is second in
runs scored (51), doubles (20) and triples (5). His slugging
percentage of .814 also leads the Blue Devils and the league.
