Website Names Paul Mammino 'Pitcher of the Week'

Just three days removed from arguably the finest Wagner pitching performance in the program's Division I history, freshman LHP Paul Mammino, of Hillsborough, has been named as the College Baseball Insider Louisville Slugger National Pitcher of the Week.

Mammino fired a complete-game one-hitter in leading the Seahawks to an 8-1 win over Central Connecticut in the teams' series finale this past Sunday.
Mammino was magnificent in securing a series split for the Green & White, and the freshman lefty nearly threw a no-hitter in the process.

The first-year Wagner hurler twirled a nine-inning, complete-game victory and took a no-hit bid into the ninth inning against the Blue Devils. After recording the first out, Dylan DelaCruz laced a single down the left field line to spoil what would have been the first no-hitter in the NEC this year.

The southpaw retired 22 batters in a row at one point during the game as DelaCruz’s ninth-inning single and Tyler McIntyre's leadoff walk in the second inning were the lone blemishes on Mammino’s line.

The Garden State native, who retired the side in order during seven of nine innings on Sunday, also fanned five batters and issued one free pass in moving his record to 5-0 on the year.  Besides his team-leading five victories, Mammino leads the Seahawks with a 2.31 ERA and has 24 strikeouts over 50.2 innings of work.

Wagner returns to action with four games this weekend at Quinnipiac. Game one is slated for 3 p.m. Friday.
