FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Former Vermont Gatorade Player of the Year and Peoples Academy (PA) standout Ben Alekson put together two more outstanding starts in April for the Fairfield University baseball team.
The big right-hander earned the win against Mount St. Mary’s on Friday, scattering five hits over seven innings of work, while striking out five. Alekson also earned the win against Rider on April 10, holding the Broncs to two hits, while fanning five more. The junior ace improved to 4-3 on the season, improving his team best ERA to 2.03. Alekson is 19-6 in 38 starts for Fairfield in his career. He has already earned a pair of Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Pitcher of the Week awards this spring and has been added to the College Baseball Foundation National Pitcher of the Year Watchlist.
Alekson and the Stags (18-15) have won three straight and will be back in action against Iona for a three-game series at home starting Friday night.
