Few pitchers have fared well against the heavy-hitting Blue Devils this season, and Zaccherio is one of them. The senior right-hander tossed a complete game nine-inning victory against Central Connecticut State in the opener of a four-game NEC series. He allowed only one run, a solo homer on the game’s first pitch, to a team that averages a NEC-best 8.0 runs per contest. Facing a lineup that features four of the NEC’s top-five batting average leaders, Zaccherio scattered seven hits in the 3-1 win. He struck out six batters and walked none. Following in the footsteps of freshman teammate Troy Scribner, Zaccherio is the second Sacred Heart hurler in two weeks to win the Akadema NEC Pitcher of the Week award.
