Boston College baseball player Ryan Leahy (Salem, Mass./St. John?s Prep) earned BIG EAST Co-Player of the Week in an announcement made by the league office, Monday, April 26. The senior shortstop received his first distinction from the conference and is the second Eagle to be recognized this season. Matt O?Donnell earned the nod for Pitcher of the Week April 12.
Ryan Leahy went 9-for-16 (.562) last week, leading the Eagles to a 3-1 record.
