The Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference (C2C) has announced its weekly awards following the fourth week of the 2024 baseball season. Salisbury's Tim Petrucelli was named C2C Player of the Week, while Christopher Newport's Brandon Cassedy captured C2C Pitcher of the Week honors.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Tim Petrucelli, Salisbury

Petrucelli hit for the cycle in the second game of the Sea Gulls' doubleheader against Oswego State on Sunday. Petrucelli racked up a double in the second, homer in the fifth, triple in the sixth, and single in the ninth. He finished the twin bill 5-for-10.

PITCHER OF THE WEEK: Brandon Cassedy, Christopher Newport

Cassedy put together the finest outing of his career and one of the best pitching performances in Christopher Newport baseball history. He threw eight scoreless innings and allowed three hits and one walk. He combined with two relievers to shut out Wittenberg, 4-0, in the Armstrong Invitational at Methodist University. Cassedy became just the third CNU pitcher in the over 1,600 game history of the program to strike out 16 or more in a game. He punched out a career-high 16 batters, tying for the second most in a game in program history. He faced just 28 batters, four over the minimum, in the victory. The second-year starter struck out a career-high 16 batters over 8.0 innings pitched while allowing just three hits. He joins Austin Chrismon (18 vs. Greensboro on Feb. 24, 2013) and Dwayne Ray (16 vs. Mansfield on March 6, 1993) as the only Captains in the over 1,600-game history of CNU baseball to record 16 strikeouts or more in a game.

C2C HIGHLIGHTS

Scott Crosson continued a terrific start to the season as Christopher Newport's leadoff batter, reaching base at a .667 clip over three games this week. He delivered six hits and reached base on four walks over 16 plate appearances. Crosson led off with a triple against Immaculata and triggered an 11-run outburst against the Mighty Macs. He finished the game 2-for-2 with three walks, scoring three times. Against Wittenberg and Methodist he extended his team-leading seven-game hitting streak with four more hits in nine at-bats. He drove in a pair and scored six times in the three-game weekend… In 10 at-bats in three games this week, Mary Washington's Bobby Ayscue recorded three base hits, one of which was a double against Ferrum on Saturday. In the Ferrum game, Ayscue recorded two RBIs while walking once, while scoring a pair of runs. The senior also collected a hit and a walk in Sunday's game against N.C. Wesleyan. In eight total chances in the field, Ayscue was perfect, finishing the weekend without an error… Salisbury's Garrett Beaver tossed 4.2 scoreless innings and struck out six Oswego State batters to help the Sea Gulls beat the Lakers in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader… In his lone appearance this week, Mary Washington's Gavin Riley gave the Eagles solid chance to win on Sunday with his 5 and 2/3 inning performance on the bump against N.C. Wesleyan. He yielded just one run, lowering his season ERA to just a 2.08 mark, while striking out five hitters, walking three and allowing five hits.
