04/01/2025 7:24 AM

LYNN, Mass. — Here are the latest college baseball highlights for incoming North Shore Navigators players:

Brody Dalton (St. John’s River State) continued his phenomenal campaign with back-to-back great performances against Palm Beach State last week. On Thursday, he went 3-for-5 with an RBI in the Vikings’ victory. He followed that with a 2-for-2 performance, clubbing his 13th home run of the season and reaching base four times. The freshman slugger is hitting .342 with a 1.152 OPS and is third in NJCAA Division 2 with those 13 round-trippers this spring. 

Owen Galt (Louisiana) raised his batting average from .275 to .322 after appearing in each of the last five games for the Ragin’ Cajuns. The freshman infielder had a 2-for-4 performance and scored a run in a midweek loss to LSU. He was a major factor in Louisiana’s first of three weekend wins against James Madison in Sun Belt Conference action, going 2-for-3 with two more singles, one RBI and his 8th stolen base of the season. 

Outfielder Ethan Wilson (Winthrop) continued to rake at the plate during the Eagles’ second Big South weekend series against Charleston Southern. He recorded a hit in each of the three games, including a strong 3-for-4 Sunday showing in which he doubled and homered to help the team to a 9-6 victory. Wilson is Winthrop’s second-leading run producer with 27 RBI in 29 games, aided by 13 extra-base hits. 

North Shore returnee Jesse Jaconski (Penn State) contributed three RBI during a Big Ten set at Michigan, highlighted by a go-ahead, two-RBI double in the second inning of a 12-5 Friday win. He also scored twice in that game. For the season, Jaconski now has 28 RBI and remains second on the Nittany Lions with seven homers.

Despite Stonehill’s losses to Wagner in Northeast Conference action, catcher Aidan Sengenberger recorded his second homer of the season on Saturday and finished the weekend with a pair of hits to move his average to .349 with a .915 OPS. Center fielder Sam Parks also remains above the .300 mark after a three-hit series in which he also scored a run and stole a base. Sengenberger and Parks are second and third on the Skyhawks in average, respectively.

Moving to the mound, Ryan Mealy (Monmouth) got the Sunday start against Towson in CAA play, throwing 5.1 innings while allowing two earned runs and striking out five en route to a 10-6 victory for the Hawks. Mealy has thrown especially well as his freshman spring has gone along, with his ERA sitting at 4.32 with 22 strikeouts in 25 innings on the season after giving up just three runs across his last three outings (12.1 innings).

Oisin Lee (Notre Dame) posted another strong relief outing in the Fighting Irish’s midweek win over Michigan State last Wednesday, striking out the side in his only inning of work. Lee is up to 11 strikeouts in five innings of work this season. 

It was another strong weekend for North Shore’s pitching duo at Bridgewater State, helping the Bears claim a MASCAC series against Framingham State. Trey Yesu pitched his second seven-inning complete game of the season in Friday’s series-opening, 3-2 win, striking out four while allowing just two runs on five hits. The right-hander now has a 1.86 ERA with 25 strikeouts in 29 innings on the season. Nahant native Nick Reiser (Bridgewater State) tossed his third consecutive scoreless appearance to close out a 17-11 victory the following day, punching out two across two innings of one-hit ball.

The Navigators will return to historic Fraser Field and the NECBL for their 18th summer collegiate season in 2025, with first pitch set for Tuesday, June 3 against the Northern Division rival Upper Valley Nighthawks.
