Sportman reached base in all of Central Connecticut’s five games last week, ending with an offensive eruption against Mount St. Mary’s. Sportman, who accounted for a .529 on-base percentage during the five-game sample that resulted in four CCSU victories, went 5-for-7 with four RBI and three runs scored during the back end of the Blue Devils’ four-game NEC series against the Mount. The rookie shortstop produced an RBI single and came around to score during Central’s five-run first inning in Game 3, an eventual 7-4 win. In the series finale, which Central took by an 11-3 score, Sportman went 4-for-4 with a RBI triple and a double. For the week, Sportman batted .500 (8-for-16) with four RBI, four runs scored, three extra-base hits, a walk, and a stolen base. He went 2-for-4 with a double and run scored in a 7-5 mid-week win over MAAC member Iona. He reached base on a fifth-inning single in the series opener against the Mount before walking and stealing a base in Game 2.
