NEW LONDON, CONN.--- Mitchell College Baseball landed two on this week's "Players of the Week" list for the City University of New York Athletic Conference (CUNYAC).  Mitchell went 2-1 this past weekend in conference play, to secure a spot in post season.  Sophomore southpaw Jeremy Chapman (Oakdale, Conn./Waterford) and freshman third-baseman Jeff Perillo (Newington, Conn./Newington) were recognized for their hand in the Pequot victories.
