Freshman lefty has an ERA of 1.26 in last 14 1/3 innings pitched.

Freshman Shane Davis (Belmont, Ont.) was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Rookie of the Week, the league office announced Monday. Davis gives the Golden Griffins their second Rookie of the Week of the season, making Canisius the first program in the league to win the award twice in 2008.

Davis, who has won all three starts in his Canisius career, went six innings in the team’s 4-2 victory over Mount St. Mary’s in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader. Davis allowed eight hits, two runs, one earned, walked one and recorded a strikeout to improve to 3-0.

Davis has thrown 15 2/3 innings in his three starts and has posted an ERA of 3.52. After allowing four runs in his first collegiate inning, Davis has allowed just three runs in his last 14 2/3 innings of work for an ERA of 1.84.

Earlier this season, Canisius swept the weekly awards when Adam Donato (Jamestown, N.Y.) was named the MAAC Player of the Week, junior Alex MacKenzie (Keswick, Ont.) was named co-MAAC Pitcher of the Week and freshman Brian Burton (Kitchener, Ont.) was named the MAAC Rookie of the Week.

Canisius, on a six-game winning streak and off to its best start in the last 54 seasons, returns to the field with a non-conference doubleheader at West Virginia Tuesday.
