Newport News, Va. – (April 8, 2019) – The Atlantic 10 Conference announced its weekly baseball awards on Monday, with Fordham pitcher Anthony DiMeglio (Darien, Conn./Darien) being named the conference's Co-Pitcher of the Week.  He shares the honor with Dayton's Ben Hughes.
 
This is DiMeglio's first weekly award of the season, and marks the fifth consecutive week that a Fordham player has been Pitcher of Week, joining John Stankiewicz (twice), Matt Mikulski, and Cory Wall.
 
DiMeglio was outstanding on Sunday in Fordham's 6-0 win over Saint Joseph's to complete a three-game series sweep.  He tossed eight scoreless innings, allowing three hits and one walk, and tied a career-high with 10 strikeouts.  The eight innings pitched also tied a career-best.
 
DiMeglio is 2-2 on the year with a 2.42 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 22.1 innings of work. 
 
He and the rest of the Rams will be right back in action on Tuesday, April 9^th, when the Rams host Columbia at 3:30 PM at Houlihan Park.  Fordham then hits the road for a Wednesday game at Siena, while traveling to VCU for a weekend series from April 12-14.
