Official Canisius Athletics News Release

Junior JC Spinosa, senior Felix Morin, and freshman Mark Rogers have earned Northeast Beef Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Baseball weekly awards, the conference office announced Tuesday.

Spinosa earned Player of the Week honours, while Morin was named the Pitcher of the Week and Rogers, the Rookie, after the Griffs swept Saint Peter's this weekend.

Spinosa was named Player of the Week after posting a strong performance in the weekend sweep, posting a 6-for-10 performance at the plate, highlighted by five RBIs and three runs scored. The junior delivered all four of his hits in Friday's doubleheader with two outs and registered three triples and a home run on the weekend.

Morin (Quebec, Que.), garnered Pitcher of the Week honours for a second time this season after getting the nod in game one of the series. Morin tossed seven innings, shutting out the Peacocks and allowing just two hits. The left-hander did not allow a base runner through the first three innings and faced the minimum batters through the game's first six innings en route to the win.

Rogers (Cambridge, Ont.), named Rookie of the Week, picked up his third straight win, going six innings, allowing just one run, while striking out six. His six strikeouts mark the most in his collegiate career.

Canisius travels to Olean N.Y., on April 8 to take on St. Bonaventure in a midweek non-conference matchup. First pitch for the Little Three matchup is scheduled for 3 p.m. at Handler Park.
