NEW YORK | The Skyline Conference released its latest weekly reports on Monday afternoon, and two Farmingdale State College baseball players earned weekly awards, while another three student-athletes received honorable mention praise.
Baseball (13-9, 6-4 Skyline) | Skyline Weekly Report
Farmingdale State earned four Skyline victories over the weekend, sweeping a home doubleheader Saturday from previous Skyline once-beaten St. Joseph's-Long Island, before taking two wins at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy on Sunday night in a rematch of last year's conference final.
Seniors
Richie Heyder (Holbrook, N.Y.) and
Derek Watts (Baldwin, N.Y.) were selected as the Skyline's Player and Pitcher of the Week, respectively. Heyder batted 8-for-14 (.571) on the weekend with four doubles, two home runs, nine RBI and four runs scored, including a two-run homer in Sunday's nightcap versus the Mariners. Watts finished off all four victories on the mound, posting a 1-0 record with two saves and a 1.80 earned run average – a total which included firing a complete-game one-hitter in Sunday's opening tilt versus USMMA.
The Rams have three Skyline doubleheaders on campus this weekend, including Thursday's 2 p.m. set with Yeshiva, Friday's noontime twinbill against conference-leading Maritime, and Sunday's 11 a.m. pair versus St. Joseph's-Brooklyn – the latter two games are officially the Bears' home games, and FSC will bat first.

FSC travels to St. Joseph's-Long Island for its regular-season finale at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, and a win would give the Rams a first-round bye in the upcoming Skyline Conference Championship.
