Gianini is the recipient of his second Akadema/NEC Pitcher of the Week honor of the season following a dominant effort in CCSU’s 13-0 win over Wagner in the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday. In tossing his second consecutive shutout, Gianini allowed just three hits and struck out 11 to pick up his third victory of the season. He fanned eight straight Seahawk batters at one point, all swinging, including striking out the side in the fifth and sixth innings. Gianini permitted just one runner to reach second base in the contest. The West Haven, CT product has not allowed an earned run in his last 15 innings and has struck out 20 while walking just four in his last two starts. In the two shutouts, no opposing runner has reached third base and only two have occupied second base. Gianini now ranks eighth in the NEC with a 3.29 ERA and is tenth on the circuit with 50 strikeouts.
