He slashed .571/1.200/1.771, while going 2-for-2 on stolen base attempts and making all eight of his plays in center field. McNamara finished Sunday's doubleheader sweep of Franklin Pierce 9-for-10 (.900) with three doubles, three home runs, a walk, 15 RBI and six runs scored, while slashing .909/2.100/3.009.

NE10 Pitcher of the Week
Keegan Burke, Saint Michael's

Burke posted an 0.82 ERA across two starts last week, finishing 1-0 while yielding just seven hits in 11 innings and fanning 13 to only two walks. He held opponents to a .184 batting average. In an 11-6 win over Franklin Pierce on Wednesday, Burke allowed one run on four hits in five innings, striking out nine without issuing a free pass. On three days' rest, he returned to the mound to blank 18th-ranked Bentley on three hits over six innings on Sunday, striking out four and walking two. Burke left with a 1-0 lead but took the no-decision in a 5-2 loss.
