AMHERST, Mass. - University of Massachusetts sophomore catcher Frank Curreri (Weymouth, Mass.) earned second-team All-Atlantic 10 honors as well as first-team All-New England accolades and will have the opportunity to participate in the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association All-Star Game scheduled for May 30, at Fenway Park.
Curreri reached base in 41 of UMass' 45 games this season, including each of the last 26 consecutive contests. The righty hitter started every UMass contest and finished the year with a team-leading .380 batting average, 54 RBI, a .464 on-base percentage and a .614 slugging percentage. Playing with the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox of the Cape Cod League this summer, Curreri also tied for the team-lead with seven home runs, and led the squad with 23 extra base hits including 16 doubles. His RBI total ranks as the fifth-highest single season figure in school history, as do his 16 doubles.
The NEIBA All-Star Game will follow the Red Sox - Mariners contest, and is slated to begin at approximately 7:00 p.m. A team of Division I All-Stars will take on a squad of Division II and III All-Stars in the 30th NEIBA All-Star game. The University squad holds a 19-8-1 advantage in the all-time series, but the College team has won two of the last three.
