WASHINGTON – The Atlantic 10 Conference named Rhode Island senior Anthony DePino as its Under Armour Baseball Player of the Week. Saint Joseph’s junior Colton Book was named Pitcher of the Week, while his freshman teammate Blake Primrose received Rookie of the Week. The awards, which were announced on Monday, are for games played from March 31 – April 7.
DePino hit .600 over a 3-1 stretch for the Rams with nine hits, nine runs scored and nine RBI. The third baseman from Madison, Conn., hit for the cycle in the Rams' 20-1 win over Richmond on Friday with a single, two doubles, a triple and a home run, while also accruing six RBI in that outing. He had five extra base hits, and also reached base on five walks, and a hit by pitch.
Book struck out 13 against one walk while scattering four hits in seven shutout innings as the Hawks hung on to beat St. Bonaventure, 4-2, in the second game of a doubleheader on Friday. The Southpaw from Manheim, Pa., recorded five of six outs via the strikeout during one stretch en route to his third 13-plus strikeout game of the season and his seventh quality start in eight tries.
Primrose recorded multiple hits in all four games as the Hawks went 3-1. He was 2-for-4 with a run scored and made 15 putouts behind the plate against Delaware. The freshman from Pittsburgh then went 8-for-13 with two home runs and nine RBI in the Bonnies series. Primrose was 3-for-5 with a double and five RBI in Friday's first game, followed by three hits, including a two-run home run, in game two. He capped off the series with two hits, two runs scored, and another home run and two RBI.
