Babson Park, MA --- WPI junior Scott NcNee has been selected NEWMAC Baseball Player of the Week after he collected 10 RBI and eight runs scored during the Crimson and Gray’s 3-1-1 week.

McNee, who hails from Falmouth, MA, collected multiple hits in four of the Engineer’s five games last week en route to hitting an impressive .545 (12-for-22) on the week. He also did not make an error in 18 defensive chances that included an outfield assist versus Brandies.


McNee’s week was highlighted by a three-run homer performance during WPI’s dramatic 13-12 victory over the Judges. This past weekend in game one against MIT, McNee reached base during all five of his plate appearances (three hits and two walks), while knocking in a pair of runs and scoring twice.

This season, McNee currently leads the NEWMAC in slugging percentage (.677), RBIs (35), home runs (7) and total bases (63). McNee also leads the Engineers in batting average (.355), and he is second on the team in runs scored (24) and hits (33).


WPI is currently 13-14-1 and will face-off against three teams in the next week. Tuesday the Engineers will be entertained by NEWMAC foe Wheaton and on Thursday they will take on Framingham State at home. Both games are slated for a 3:30pm start. The Boynton Hillers will then close out their conference schedule with a home doubleheader against Coast Guard at noon on Saturday.
