These seniors had outstanding performances on the softball and baseball field last week
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Senior shortstop Chloe Sharabba and senior pitcher Brian Rapp have been named Nissan Eagles of the Week for their performances last week.
Sharabba has been a consistently strong force at the plate for the Eagles this season. The Aliso Viejo, Calif. native led the team with a .538 batting average against Providence and NC State last week. She scored a team-leading seven runs, while also picking up seven hits and five RBIs. She blasted two home runs last week, including one that tied the score against NC State in the sixth inning of game three. The senior now leads the team with five home runs this season. The shortstop also picked up a double in the ninth inning of the same game to drive home the game-winning run for BC. She also hit two doubles in last week's action, resulting in a .667 on base percentage and a 1.154 slugging percentage, helping the Eagles extend their win streak to 11 straight games.
Rapp did not allow a hit until the seventh inning in the Eagles' 8-0 victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday. Combined with junior Thomas Lane, the two threw a one-hitter as the Eagles recorded their second shutout of the season. Rapp threw 6.2 scoreless innings in his start. He exited the game after throwing 127 pitches, allowing just one single and six walks with eight strikeouts. He has recorded eight or more Ks in four starts this year and his 3.83 ERA and 53 strikeouts leads the BC starting staff. He is eighth in the ACC with a .203 opponent batting average.Â

The softball team looks for its 12 straight win when it hosts Connecticut today at the Brighton Athletic Village at 4 p.m. The baseball team also returns to action today, hosting Quinnipiac at 4 p.m.
