New Jersey Jackals News Release


Jackals' second baseman Matt Cusick has been named this week's Hitter of the Week.

Cusick's 9-21 week at the plate included a home run, two triples, and nine runs scored. His two-run home run yesterday against the Bears tied the ballgame at three.

His two triples came in the same game, tying a Can-Am record.

The New Jersey Jackals now have a league-high eight players with the 2012 honor.

The Mission Viejo, CA native came over from the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks on June 8th in exchange for pitcher Mike Zenko and a player to be named later.

In 40 games since coming over, Cusick has hit to a .333 average, five home runs, and 20 RBIs. His production has cemented him into the three-hole in the lineup.

Cusick was a former AAA prospect for the New York Yankees before being traded to Houston for RHP LaTroy Hawkins in 2008. Hawkins is currently with the Los Angeles Angels in his 18th major league season.

The New Jersey Jackals, proud members of the Canadian-American Association of Professional Baseball, play their home games at Yogi Berra Stadium located on the campus of Montclair State University in Little Falls, NJ. 2012 single-game tickets, season tickets, mini-plans and group outings are available by calling 973-746-7434.
