Keller had a monster week at the plate and led the Owls to a three-game conference sweep of Louisiana-Lafayette. In four games last week, the junior batted .733 (11-for-15) with three home runs, six RBI, five runs scored and two doubles. Keller reeled off four multi-hit games in a row and had at least one RBI and one run scored in each contest. He slammed a solo home run, drove in two and had three of FAU’s seven hits against Central Florida on Mar. 27. Against ULL, Keller went 8-for-11 and slammed two home runs. He had four hits in four at-bats in the middle game of the series and he book-ended the three-game set with solo belts. The New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) tabbed Wesleyan College senior Mike Barsotti (Cooperstown 2010) as its Pitcher of the Week. Barsotti hurled a three-hitter over eight innings and struck out a career-high 13 in a NESCAC game at Bowdoin College on Mar. 31. The senior yielded one unearned run on three hits, walked one and hit one in a complete game effort. He struck out the first four Bowdoin batters he faced and twice retired the side via three strikeouts. Barsotti tossed seven shutout frames and allowed just two runners to safely advance past second base in his eight frames. In his last start, Barsotti broke the school’s all-time strikeout record. Cortland State senior Aaron Schuldt (Watertown 2009) was named Pitcher of the Week by the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC).
