ORONO, Maine – After a week that saw the University of Maine baseball tream pick up up four wins in five games, the America East announced on Tuesday afternoon that Trevor DeLaite and Ryan Turenne earned the two of the conference's weekly honors. DeLaite was selected as the conference's pitcher of the week, while Turenne garnered co-rookie of the week.
Â
DeLaite appeared in four games for the Black Bears on the week in relief, earning an impressive three saves and a win. Maine won all four games he appeared in, as he didn't allow an earned run in six innings, striking out eight. He gave up just four hits, holding opponents to a .200 batting average.

The Bangor native shut down both Brown and Dartmouth in the bottom of the ninth, as he set down the Bears in order in his first appearance on the week. Against Dartmouth, the Big Green would record a two-out triple off of DeLaite, as the tying run stood just 90 feet away. The junior settled down, as after three consecutive balls, he worked the count back to 3-2, and would get the final batter to strikeout looking.
Â
Against Stony Brook he pitched the eighth and ninth innings in the series opener and season finale, stranding runners in scoring position in both contests.
Â
Since March 16, DeLaite has posted a 0.71 ERA in 10 appearances, picking up five saves, while allowing just nine hits and striking out 18 in 12.2 innings pitched.
Â
Turenne earned his first America East honor of the season and became the third different Black Bear to win rookie of the week honors this season. He led the Black Bears with a .417 batting average on the week, picking up five hits in 12 at bats. The Lynn, Mass. native went 3-for-4 from the plate against Dartmouth, including a two-run home run. In the first game of the week against Brown, Turenne belted a two-run RBI single which game Maine the lead for good at 4-3.
Â
