Martin, Florence Selected to Weekly MASCAC Honors

After a productive week of baseball for the Owls, Nick Martin (Shrewsbury, Mass.) and Nolan Florence (Chicopee, Mass.) were recognized as MASCAC player of the week and rookie of the week. Martin assisted the Owls to a three-win week against Framingham State, batting 5-for-14 (.357 average) with three doubles, four RBI, three runs scored, and two stolen bases. He recorded a .571 slugging percentage and a .400 on base percentage. He was effective in both doubleheader sets, going 2-for-4 with two doubles, RBI, and a run scored in game one of the conference doubleheader sweep on Thursday. Over the weekend, he went 3-for-7 with two RBI, a run scored, and two stolen bases in the non-conference doubleheader split against Framingham State.

Florence also put together a productive week, which earned himself MASCAC rookie of the week. Florence was instrumental in all three wins for the Owls, compiling a .500 average (4-8) with two doubles, four RBI, and two runs scored. His game one two RBI double pushed the Owls ahead and jumpstarted an eventual thirteen-run scoring output. He put together a strong .750 slugging percentage as well as a .556 on base percentage.

The Owls Trevor Edwards (Amherst, Mass.) was also selected to the MASCAC weekly honor roll after recording two saves with two scoreless innings pitched this past week.

The Owls will visit Fitchburg State in a doubleheader set on Friday before returning home to face the Falcons in a Saturday doubleheader at Hagan Field.
