RICHMOND, Va. – One of the Colonial Athletic Association's top freshmen has finally received the honor of Rookie of the Week Monday after bouncing back from losing his 24-game hitting streak last weekend.
Joseph Carpenter hit .471 and slugged .706 in the Blue Hens' 2-2 week. He started off the slate with a huge game at UMBC where he was 4-for-6 with a home run, double and four RBIs. He also collected a pair of hits in the middle game of the Hofstra series.
Overall, he drove home at least one RBI in three of Delaware's four games and had seven in the week with a four runs scored.
On the season, Carpenter is leading the Blue Hens and all CAA freshmen with a .313 batting average and is tops in slugging percentage on the team at .484.
This makes it back-to-back Rookie of the Week honors for the Blue Hens as Joey Silan claimed the honor a week ago.
Delaware enters the final weekend of the regular season, hosting CAA-foe Charleston at Bob Hannah Stadium with first pitch of the three-game set slated for 7 p.m. Thursday.
