Manhattanville’s Fiorito Wins POTW

Coaches, parents and boosters, please send scores and information to HVDailySportsDigest@gmail.com immediately following every varsity, youth or intramural game.

The Top Spot:

Manhattanville’s Dan Fiorito is putting together a great year that has garnered him and now he has something else to add to the trophy case. 

After an absurd four game stretch last week when he hit .611 with four home runs, three doubles, eight RBI and 12 runs scored, the infielder was named the National Player of the Week by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.

Fiorito currently leads the team in batting average, home runs and runs scored and is second in RBI.

The Valiants will face off against FDU-Florham today at 3:30 p.m. before hitting the road.
