Meade becomes second Blue Devils in two weeks to win the Akadema NEC Player of the Week honor. The senior first baseman went 9-for-17 (.529) at the plate and drove in seven runs during CCSU’s four-game set with defending NEC champion Monmouth. Raising his season batting average to a league-leading .438, Meade recorded at least two hits in all four games, three of which were won by the Blue Devils. Meade, who slugged .941 for the series, did not record an RBI in the opener, but still managed three baseknocks and two runs in Central Connecticut’s 11-7 win. He played a huge part in both of CCSU’s improbable comeback victories. The fourth-year Blue Devil went 2-for-3 with one walk, one RBI, and one run to help CCSU turn a 10-1 deficit into an 11-10 triumph in game three. Helping the Blue Devils top that task the following day, Meade produced four RBI as CCSU stormed back from 16-1 down to win the finale. He crushed a three-run homer during the five-run third inning that ignited Central’s comeback. Meade added a solo shot in the middle of CCSU’s nine-run sixth.
