Santomauro Picks Up His Second Ivy League Player of the Week Award
4/28/2009 1:45:00 PM | Baseball
PRINCETON, N.J. ? For the second time this month, Dartmouth junior outfielder Nick Santomauro (North Caldwell, N.J.) has been named the Ivy League Player of the Week as announced by the conference office today. He shared the honor this week with Cornell's Nate David. This is the third straight week a Big Green player has taken home this award, and fourth time in the last five weeks.
Santomauro hit .583 (7-for-12) in five games last week with two doubles, a home run, five walks, five runs scored and eight RBIs as he slugged an even 1.000 and reached base in two-thirds of his plate appearances.
He began the week with a simple pinch-hitting role, breaking a 6-6 deadlock at Vermont with a three-run homer on an 0-2 pitch. In the series against Harvard, he was instrumental in the two victories that clinched the Rolfe Division, going 3-for-3 with a double, two walks, a run and two RBIs in the 14-2 win on Saturday, then 2-for-3 with another double, two more walks and two more RBIs in the title-clinching 11-5 triumph. He was directly involved in four of Dartmouth's first five runs in that victory. For the season, he is batting .408 overall and a whopping .473 in Ivy play.
The other Dartmouth players to earn the distinction this year are freshman shortstop Joe Sclafani (Palm City, Fla.) two weeks ago and senior first baseman Mike Pagliarulo (Winchester, Mass.) last week.
The Ivy Championship series will take place in Hanover this weekend against the winner of the playoff game between Princeton and Cornell that takes place tomorrow afternoon in Ithaca, N.Y. The championship series starts with a noon doubleheader on Saturday at Red Rolfe Field at Biondi Park, with both games scheduled for nine innings. The deciding game, if necessary, would take place Sunday at 1 p.m.
The Big Green (22-13) are back in action this afternoon as they host Hartford (10-24) at 3 p.m.
