A Syosset, New York, native, Scocca homered, for the second time this summer before doubling, tripling, and singling over the remainder of the night to round out one of the rarest feats in baseball. He finished the week with a .375 batting average, five runs and five RBIs. For the summer, the rising junior at Fairfield University is batting just over .280 in 18 games played with five doubles, two triples, two homers and 16 RBIs.

The rising senior at Bridgeport University fanned a season-high nine batters and scattered three hits while issuing just one walk to lower his season ERA to 2.96 and his WHIP to 1.270. He now stands at 2-1 over five appearances (four starts) with 29 strikeouts, 11 walks and a .217 batting average against.
