Stephens displayed talent from the mound and at the plate last week. After firing 2.0 scoreless frame in a mid-week bout against Connecticut, the first-year Blue Devil proceeded to record at least one hit and one RBI in each of the team's three NEC victories over Fairleigh Dickinson. In the opener, he connected on a RBI double that gave CCSU a 5-3 lead in the eighth inning. Stephens recorded two run-scoring singles in Game 2, a 9-5 triumph for CCSU. His clutch, two-out hit through the right side broke a 3-3 tie in the sixth frame. Helping the Blue Devils complete the sweep, he was a key piece of a five-run rally in the ninth inning of the series finale. Stephens pushed across the first run of the inning, singling down the leftfield line to score Mitch Guilmette.
