Gallina garners Hitter of the Week honors for the first time this season after hitting .500 on the weekend while all five of his hits went for extra bases. The senior designated hitter blasted two homers, three doubles, scored seven times and drove in seven as the Aggies (20-23, 7-11 CUSA) swept Jax State on the road. He also walked three times and was hit by pitch three times, giving him a .688 on-base percentage. Gallina’s two home runs came in Saturday’s 9-5 win, going 2-for-3 with two RBI and two runs. He collected multiple runs and RBI in each game over the weekend.
 
CUSA Pitcher of the Week – Jerrod Jenkins, DBU – So. – RHP – Winchester, Va.
Jenkins was sensational on the mound for the Patriots (31-11, 10-5 CUSA) as he hurled 6.0 shutout innings in a combined no-hitter in Sunday’s 11-0 win over FIU. The sophomore right-hander came in relief in the second inning and proceeded to strikeout a career-high nine Panther batters en route to DBU’s first no-hitter since 2006. Jenkins retired 12 consecutive batters from the second through sixth innings, including an immaculate frame in the fifth.
