Dini’s .563 battling clip during Wagner’s four-game week should coem as little surprise since the freshman second baseman is leading the entire team in hitting for the season. Upping his season average to .331, Dini went 9-for-16 at the plate with nine RBI and four runs scored over a quartet of non-conference contests against MAAC members Saint Peter’s and Iona. The Garden State product, who played high school ball at Monroe, accounted for a career day against New Jersey-based Saint Peter’s. Rudely greeting the Peahens on Staten Island, Dini recorded four hits, five RBI, and three runs scored during the 19-2 mid-week victory. Dini, who registered a .611 on-base percentage over last week’s four-game sample, went 5-for-10 (.500) at the plate with two walks, one run, and four RBI during Wagner’s three-game weekend series against Iona. The second baseman’s third-inning RBI single plated the lone run in the Seahawks’ 1-0 series-opening triumph over Iona. He followed by going 1-for-2 with a walk and run in Game 2. Dini, who has hit safely in all but two of his last 29 games, went 3-for-5 with one walk and three RBI in the rubber game against Iona on April 21, an 18-10 victory for the Green & White. Dini leads the team with 49 hits while adding 21 runs, six doubles, four triples, 23 RBI, six stolen bases and 14 walks en-route to posting a .400 OBP.
