The South Atlantic Conference Announces AstroTurf Baseball Player and Pitcher of the Week Honors

ROCK HILL, S.C. (TheSAC.com) – Lenoir-Rhyne's Drue Galassi was named the South Atlantic Conference AstroTurf Baseball Player of the Week, while Queens' Nick Charleson was named AstroTurf Baseball Pitcher of the Week for games played during week six of the 2021 season, the Conference office announced today.

Galassi, a senior outfielder from Peoria, Ill., led the Bears to a 4-1 record, including a four-game sweep of SAC foe UVA Wise. He batted .450 for the week with a .542 on-base percentage and 1.200 slugging percentage. He belted four home runs, drove in eight runs, scored 12 runs, and had three doubles, while also stealing two bases.

Charleson, a junior right-handed pitcher from Laurinburg, N.C., threw a nearly flawless one-hit, complete game shutout against Tusculum last week. He led the Royals to a 3-0 victory, going seven innings with six strikeouts.

This is Galassi's first Player of the Week honor this season, while this marks the first Pitcher of the Week for Charleson.
