Scialabba scored four runs and drove in four and worked three walks. The sophomore opened the series with a double and a homer with two RBIs before adding two hits in three at-bats in a 2-1 win on Friday. Scialabba followed that up with a three-for-four game in game one on Saturday collecting two doubled before registering a single, two walks, and on RBI in game two. Defensively, the sophomore was five-for-five in his chances at second base.

John Luke Cianciolo, St. Michael's (Sr., RHP/DH - Guilford, Conn.)
