Joey Wright (Junior/Immaculata): Junior third basemen Joey Wright put in an impressive week at the plate for the Mighty Macs, batting .438 on the week, scoring six runs and batting in five runs for the Macs. Wright’s week was highlighted on Friday as he went 4-for-6, hitting a home run short of the cycle while earning two runs scored and two RBI for the Macs against Neumann. Wright also scored two runs while going 1-for-3 with two walks on Wednesday in a non-conference contest at Penn State Abington. Then, on Saturday, Wright went 2-for-4, scoring two runs and earning one RBI to lead the Macs to an 8-7 victory against the Knights.

Mitchell Bramsway (Sophomore/Gwynedd Mercy): After Bramsway recorded his fifth scoreless out of game two versus Carbini University, a lead-off single through the left side from senior catcher Nate Campbell (Royersford, Pa.), a wild pitch, a balk, a walk to senior center fielder Jack Jamison (Fort Washington, Pa.), set the table for Martell's successful squeeze. Bramsway earned the win (4-1) with 1.2 innings of untouched relief.
