PAXTON, Mass. – A day after being selected as The Commonwealth Coast Conference Baseball Player of the Week, junior shortstop Michael Galvin (Rutland, Mass.) was named the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference Division III New England Baseball Player of the Week.

 

Galvin had an outstanding week at The RussMatt Central Florida Invitational, leading the AMCATS in almost every offensive category, including batting average (.684), hits (13), runs (9), total bases (16), on base percentage (.739), and slugging percentage (.842). The AMC shortstop had at least two-hits in every game this week, including three three-hit games. He also scored at least one run in every game and had three-straight multi-RBI performances. He finished the week a blistering 13-for-19 at the plate while adding two stolen bases.

 

During perhaps his best day of the week, Galvin collected back-to-back three-hit multi-RBI games in a doubleheader versus Northland. The junior went 3-for-4 in game one with three runs scored and two runs batted in. In game two, Galvin once again went 3-for-4 at the plate, scoring two runs while adding two RBI’s, and two stolen bases.

 

Galvin, who missed most of last season after undergoing surgery on his ankle, helped to lead Anna Maria to their best start in program history this week. Along with Galvin, the AMCATS are returning eight juniors and six seniors this season, as the club looks to make a return to the TCCC playoffs and contend for a Conference Championship.
