New Haven picked up its first NEC series win of its debut season by taking two games off Wagner over the weekend at home. Leading the way for the Chargers was junior catcher Russo, who batted .500 (8-for-16) at the plate last week. The Yaphank, NY native shined in a pair of 9-8 victories over the Seahawks by going 5-for-8, scoring three runs and driving in one more in the two triumphs. Russo also cracked three doubles and smacked a homer in four games for the Chargers last week to finish with a 1.375 OPS off a .875 slugging percentage and a .500 OBP. This marks the first time a New Haven athlete has been tabbed NEC Player of the Week during its inaugural baseball season as a NEC member.
