Felician Athletics - 5/29/07 BASEBALL - Torres Nabs Final NJCBA Rookie Honor

RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Felician College's Marcos Torres (Miami, FL/South Miami) has been named the New Jersey Collegiate Baseball Association Division II/III Rookie Player of the Week for May 22. It was the final day of weekly awards for the 2007 season.

Torres, a freshman catcher, was considered following his performance the previous week, during which only one other NJCBA team played. He went 4 for 10 with seven RBI, and drove in six runs in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament.

After going 2 for 3 in a May 8 loss to Kean University, Torres had a double, a homerun, and 4 RBI two days later in the Golden Falcons' CACC first-round loss at Wilmington (Del.) College. On May 11, he had two sacrifice flies as Felician was eliminated from the league playoffs by Caldwell College.

Felician had a 23-26 won-lost record and tied for second place in the CACC with a 10-6 conference mark.
