HADLEY, Mass. – Trinity College Baseball junior Luis Saldivia (Princeton Junction, N.J.) was selected as the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Baseball Player of the Week, announced by the league office Monday. This is Saldivia's first Player of the Week honor, and he's the second Bantam this season to be selected, joining Aidan Stern.
 
Saldivia paced Trinity at the plate in a perfect 4-0 week for the Bantams, including a three-game sweep of Colby to grab sole possession of the top of the NESCAC East Division. Saldivia posted a 1.434 OPS with a .625 batting average, tallying 10 hits, including two doubles, with four RBIs, three runs scored, and four stolen bases. He also played the field cleanly with no errors in 26 chances in the infield. The junior went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in a win over Nichols, followed by another two-hit performance in a series-opening win over Colby. Saldivia went 5-for-8 with two RBIs and two runs scored across a doubleheader sweep of the Mules.
 
Saldivia and the Bantams will be back on the diamond when they welcome Amherst College to Murren Family Field at DiBenedetto Stadium Tuesday night at 6:00 p.m.
