Zack Baker Platt Baseball

Whether the Panthers win or lose, Zack Baker has been a gamer all season for Platt baseball. The junior infielder/pitcher is one of the few returning starters on a young squad and has set the example. On Monday, Baker was rewarded for his efforts, collecting three hits, including a home run, and closing out Platt’s 6-4 victory over Torrington at Fuessenich Park.

Tyler Blumetti Southington Baseball

With his offense running hot and cold, SHS basebll coach Stan Switala inserted pitcher Tyler Blumetti into the lineup last week as an outfielder. On Monday, Blumetti batted 8th. By Friday, he was in the 2-hole, capping the week with a 4-for-4 night. In all, the senior went 9-for-13 with 6 RBI and 5 runs scored. Not coincidentally, the Blue Knights went 4-0 to improve to 13-4.

Nathan Camire Maloney Golf

When you’re hot, you’re hot, and that’s what the Maloney golf team is. The Spartans have defeated eight straight foes to raise their record to 10-1. Nathan Camire has been a catalyst throughout. With a 43 last Tuesday at Hunter against Plainville, the senior earned his fifth medal of the season. His low round at Hunter is 39. For the season, it’s a 38 at Laural View.

Lyndsey Bunnell Sheehan Lacrosse

After wrapping up the regular season at 8-8, it’s on to the postseason for Sheehan, which gives Lyndsey Bunnell a chance to get 100 career points. The senior captain stands at 95 after scoring four goals and assisting on three in Monday’s 10-9 overtime win in North Haven. Last Friday, at Wolcott, Bunnell rang up a 10-point game with eight goals and two assists.

Emily Moskal Southington Softball

What’s a pitcher to do against Emily Moskal? The senior center fielder can swing a big bat and play small ball, and she’s been a big part of Southington standing at 17-0. After going 4-for-4 last Friday vs. Hall, Moskal was leading the No. 1-ranked Knights with 24 hits and a .511 average. Her .588 on-base percentage and .638 slugging percentage were also team-highs.

Jeduailyz Quintero Wilcox Tech Tennis

This sophomore makes it two Wilcox Tech tennis nominees in as many weeks. For good reason. On Monday, Jeduailyz Quintero teamed with last week’s nominee, Azayla Yearwood, to capture the doubles crown at the Connecticut Technical Conference championships at Wesleyan. Their 8-6 win in the final also helped the Wildcats land the overall team title.

Winners will be posted here as well as your next group of nominees.
