Vittek was instrumental in Mount St. Mary’s retaining its hold on first place in the NEC as the Mountaineers took three of four from Sacred Heart in a battle of the top two teams in the conference standings and finished 5-1 on the week. Vittek hit .458 with four homers, nine runs scored, nine RBI and a 1.000 slugging percentage as the Mount tied a school Division I record with 25 victories on the year. He blasted two home runs in a 6-2 win over Sacred Heart in the series opener and added a third dinger in the final game of the set, a 16-2 Mount victory on Sunday. The Eldersburg, MD native also homered in a 22-7 triumph over UMBC on Tuesday and went 2-4 with an RBI in an 11-10 victory over Georgetown the following afternoon. Vittek’s midseason hitting surge after a slow start has resulted in a .368 average with four doubles, seven homers, 14 runs, 18 RBI and an .807 slugging percentage over the team’s recent 13-2 stretch. His nine round trippers this season ties for second in the NEC.
