THROGGS NECK, N.Y. (April 9, 2014) – After grabbing victories in three of the four contests this weekend, the Maritime baseball team looks to build on its momentum with a matchup against Skyline rival Yeshiva. The game is set to take place at Taft High School in the Bronx, N.Y. on Wednesday night at 8 p.m.

CANNELLA PICKS UP ECAC PITCHER OF THE WEEK HONORS
After already being named the Skyline Conference Pitcher of the Week on Monday for his no-hitter on Saturday over St. Joseph's, senior Trevor Cannella (Sea Cliff, N.Y./North Shore) added Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) accolades to his résumé. The conference announced its weekly honors on Tuesday and the right-hander was tabbed the ECAC Division III Metro Pitcher of the Week. This is the second time this season the Privateers boasted the Metro Pitcher of the Week, as senior Nick Sarna (Massapequa, N.Y./St. Anthony's) also picked up the honor after his perfect game over Yeshiva, just 25 days before Cannella's no-no.
