Week 3 Stats: 4 starts, .412 BA (7-for-17), HR, 2B, 3 RBI, 3 stolen bases, 2 BB
Mongelli reached base at least twice while recording a RBI in each of Sacred Heart’s first three games last week. Totaling four starts (three at shortstop and one as DH), Mongelli hit safely during all four appearances. He went 7-for-17 (.412) at the plate with two extra-base hits, two walks, three steals, three RBI and one run scored. The first-year Pioneer was a key contributor to one-run victories on Friday and Saturday, going a combined 5-for-7 over the two-game sample. After a second-inning double and a fourth-inning single, Mongelli blasted a solo homer in the sixth inning to provide the eventual game-winning run in a 2-1 triumph over Ivy League member Brown. The freshman shortstop recorded two hits and walked once in Saturday’s 10-9 win over A-10 member LaSalle. He also produced a RBI sac fly as part of the Pioneers’ eight-run explosion in the eighth inning.
