ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The New York Collegiate Baseball League approaches its midway point with tight races in both divisions. Connor Hamilton (Rochester/Cedarville) and Anthony Massicci (Syracuse Salt Cats/Canisius) played prominent roles leading their respective teams over the past week.
Hamilton earned Pitcher-of-the-Week honors going 1-0 in two starts striking out six and walking just one in 17 innings of work. The right-hander allowed three runs in his two outings. Hamilton has made five starts this season. Hidden within a 2-2 record and 1.50 ERA is just how good Hamilton, who’s currently tied for the league lead in shutouts, has been. The Rochester righty has tossed at least eight innings in all of his five starts, twice going the distance. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Hamilton leads the league in innings pitched with 42.

Massicci recorded at least one hit in all five games he played this week, and helped pace the Salt Cats to a 4-1 record on the week. The Ithaca, N.Y. native tripled (one of his three three-baggers on the week) in a big run to tie the game in the sixth in a 10-8 win over Sherrill. On Saturday the shortstop drove in the first Salt Cat run in the bottom of the first and later scored in the third in a 5-4 win over the Junior Chiefs. After hitting .533 for the week, Massicci is now fifth in the NYCBL in batting average and hits with .365 and 31 respectively. His five triples lead the league.
