D3BASEBALL.COM TEAM OF THE WEEK
BEVERLY, Mass. – Endicott sophomore first baseman Jake Nardone (Wakefield, Mass.) has been selected to the D3baseball.com Team of the Week, as announced by the organization earlier today.
The Team of the Week is D3baseball.com’s weekly honor roll, which is in its ninth season of recognizing the top performers at all nine positions across NCAA Division III baseball from the previous week. Student-athletes are selected from nominations from their school’s sports information directors (SIDs). This is the ninth Team of the Week of the 2021 season.
Last Saturday against Wentworth, Nardone was a force to be reckoned with in Endicott’s doubleheader sweep over the Leopards.
In game one (11-1 win), Nardone went 3-for-4 with two runs scored, three RBI, and a homer. He followed that performance up in game two (13-3 win) with a 2-for-2 day to go along with three runs scored, two homers, six RBI, and two walks.
Nardone tied the Gulls’ single-game record for home runs with two, while his six RBIs rank tied for sixth all-time in a single-game as well.
Today’s announcement marks Nardone’s first career D3baseball.com Team of the Week and second weekly award in as many days as the sophomore first baseman claimed Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Player of the Week honors yesterday.
WHAT’S NEXT
Endicott (12-6, 9-3 CCC) hosts Wentworth on Wednesday, April 28 at 3:30 PM.
