Welcome Aboard Mick!
Mickey Amanti picked up his 100th career hit against Brown this
week. Amanti became the 54th player in Quinnipiac history and the
26th in the Bobcats' Division I history to record 100 career hits.
Amanti is the third Quinnipiac player to reach the 100-hit mark
this season, and the fourth active player, joining Ben Farina
(Waterford, Conn.), who recorded his 100th hit last season, as well
as Brian Monack (Branford, Conn.) and Joe Poletsky (Riverside,
Conn.).
He's
Starting To Warm Up
Chris Migani's 3-for-5 day against Brown on Tuesday snapped a
six-game skid that saw Migani marred in a 2-for-22 slump heading
into the game. Migani finished the day with his fifth career
homerun, and just the third homerun this season by Quinnipiac.
Migani scored twice and drove in two runs.
Bobcats Go-Deep Three Times
Quinnipiac's three homeruns against Dartmouth on Wednesday were the
most in a game for the Bobcats since they clubbed four against
Fairleigh Dickinson on April 25, 2009. Brian Monack hit two of the
three homeruns as he becomes just the third NEC player this season,
joining Bryant's Kevin Browne and Central Connecticut State's Tommy
Meade, to homer twice in a game.

Homerun Stuff
Monack and Mickey Amanti both homered in the game for Quinnipiac.
The Bobcats four-homerun showing against Fairleigh Dickinson on
April 25, 2009 was the last time they had two different players
homer int he same game. In that game, it was Monack and Joe
Poletsky each homering twice.
Three In A Row
Against Dartmouth, Quinnipiac scored twice in each of the first
three innings. It marked just the third time this season that
Quinnipiac scored in three consecutive innings. The first time
Quinnipiac did it was on March 12 in a loss to William & Mary,
while they also did it against Sacred Heart in a win on April
2.
