FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Former Peoples Academy (PA) three-time state champion Ben Alekson won his third straight start for the Fairfield University baseball team last week, improving to 5-3 on the season.
The 6-2 right-hander scattered five hits over six innings of work against Iona on Friday night, striking out three. He lowered his team-leading ERA to 2.12 and is now 20-6 in 39 starts with the Stags. The junior has been added to the College Baseball Foundation National Pitcher of the Year Watchlist.
Since starting the season 1-9, Fairfield has been one of the hottest teams in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC). They’ve won six of seven and will take a 21-16 record into a three-game road series against Quinnipiac this weekend.
