LAST WEEK: 4 Starts, .375 BA (6-for-16), 5 R, 3 RBI, 3 SB, 3 XBH, GW HR
Albanese capped off his productive weekend in fitting fashion. The freshman outfielder launched a two-out opposite field home run to break a 6-6 ninth-inning tie and send Bryant to a series sweep of LIU Brooklyn. It was the sixth hit of the series for Bryant’s left-fielder, who hit .375 (6-for-16) with five runs, three RBI and three stolen bases over four games against the Blackbirds. Albanese made key contributions in all four of Bryant’s victories. He produced a double and a run-scoring single in Game 1, an 8-4 victory. Albanese logged two hits and a walk while scoring three runs in a 7-0 shutout during the first half of Friday’s twin bill. He was hitless in Game 3, but managed to drive in a run with a sac fly in the sixth inning of the 3-1 triumph.
