College Player of the Week: Cameron Chee-Aloy
For the second time this season, outfielder Cameron Chee-Aloy is the top Terrier graduate in the college baseball ranks.
Chee-Aloy got his week started by collecting a hit, a walk and two RBI as the University of Illinois downed Illinois State 10-6 in a midweek contest.
That was just a primer for a three-game weekend series against Northern Illinois.
Game 1 saw Chee-Aloy go 2-for-5 with a double and a RBI in a 15-5 win.
He then went 2-for-2 with two walks and another RBI during a 16-5 victory in Game 2.
It was another multi-hit performance for the Toronto native in Game 3 as he had two hits, one of which was a solo home run, a triple, a walk and a hit by pitch in a 21-11 win.
On the season, Chee-Aloy is hitting .333 with four home runs, 22 RBI and a .958 OPS as a freshman.
