ATTLEBORO, Mass. – Three members of the Mitchell College baseball team were honored by the New England Collegiate Conference on Monday morning.
Junior Will Charkowsky was named NECC Player of the Week while classmate Tyler Shultis was tabbed NECC Pitcher of the Week. Freshman Drew Doyle completed the sweep of the weekly awards by being named NECC Rookie of the Week. All three earned distinction for the first time this season.
Charkowsky had a hit in all five games last week and helped the Mariners post a 3-1 record in NECC play. The junior catcher hit .322 (7-for-22) at the plate and finished with four RBI and three runs scored on the week, including three RBI in the series sweep of Southern Vermont College which were all one-run victories for the Mariners.

Doyle, an outfielder, batted a team-high .400 over the five games last week. He had three hits and a pair of RBI in the series finale against Southern Vermont and also had two hits and two RBI in a non-conference game against Coast Guard.
Charkowsky started all 28 games for the Mariners and batted .337 with 14 RBI and a team-high 20 runs scored this season.
