McEneaney (Gen. Valley '06) Named Liberty League Co-Pitcher of the Week

University of Rochester senior Peter McEneaney (Genesee Valley '06) has been chosen as the Liberty League Co-Pitcher of the Week for the week ending April 27, 2008. It is the second time this season that McEneaney has won the award.

Last week, the Rochester senior was 1-0 with a 1.84 ERA in two appearances for the Yellow Jackets. He allowed three earned runs in 14.2 innings pitched, yielded 15 hits and struck out 10. McEneaney pitched five and two-thirds innings against Ithaca on April 22. In a no decision, he allowed three runs on eight hits, walked four and struck out four. Working on three-days rest, McEneaney whirled a complete-game shutout against conference-rival RPI on Saturday afternoon in the second game of a doubleheader.

The New York, N.Y., native scattered seven hits, walked one and struck out six as Rochester defeated RPI, 2-0. McEneaney stranded six RPI runners on base and faced six hitters over the minimum in the nine-inning contest.

This spring, McEneaney is 6-0 with a team-low 1.32 earned run average for Rochester. He has allowed eight earned runs in a team-high 54.1 innings pitched and struck out 50. The senior is second on the team in victories and strikeouts to junior Blair Veenema (Gen. Valley '06). Rochester will host the Liberty League tournament on the weekend of May 12-13.

McEneaney pitched in the New York Collegiate Baseball League during the 2006 season. He helped the Genesee Valley Riverbats to the Central Division championship. The 6-foot-2 hurler went 5-2 with one save and a 2.01 earned run average in 11 appearances for Genesee Valley. He pitched a team-high 62.2 innings and struck out 40. McEneaney was named first-team All-NYCBL at the end of the season.
