ITHACA, N.Y. - D3baseball.com released its Team of the Week for games occurring between April 28-May 4 and Ithaca College senior
Colin Leyner and junior
Ethan Daddabbo were selected to the Week 12 team.
Leyner made two appearances out of the bullpen for Ithaca and stuck out nine batters over 6.0 innings pitched and allowed just three hits and one unearned run. Leyner began the week with two strikeouts in one inning against No. 12 Brockport, but his impact was felt in the Liberty League Crossover Series as he entered in relief after the second game against Vassar was suspended and he proceeded to throw 4.0 shutout inning with just one hit allowed and seven strikeouts to earn the save.
Daddabbo appeared in all three games during a 2-1 week for Ithaca and made one start, but he went 5-for-8 at the plate with six RBI, two doubles and a home run. He was also perfect on defense with 18 total chances. In a doubleheader against Vassar to qualify for the Liberty League Tournament, Daddabbo blasted a walk-off solo home run in the first game and then drove home four runs in the second contest.
They are theÂ
16th and 17th players from Ithaca to be named to the D3baseball.com Team of the Week since 2012, and the second and third this season, joining
Jack Colyer in Week 7.
Ithaca is 24-13 this season and will host the Liberty League Championship this weekend.
