Attleboro senior Michael Huntington has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for April 7 through April 13. Huntington is the 30th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year and third in the spring season.
Huntington was instrumental in Attleboro putting together a perfect 2-0 week, helping the Bombardiers pull out a pair of thrilling one-run wins against Milford and Mansfield and stay just one back in the loss column of league-leading Taunton. He went 3-for-5 with two RBI and three runs scored over the two games.
“Mikey has been the catalyst of our offense over the last two years,” said Attleboro head coach Steve Dunlea. “This past week against Milford and Mansfield it felt like he was always either on base or he was driving in the runs. The team feeds off his confidence and poise. He is a true leader for us.”
Attleboro had a week off in between its one-run loss to Taunton and the visit of Milford on Wednesday. The Bombardiers fell behind by four runs but put together a seventh inning rally to force extras. The rally started in the bottom of the fifth with Huntington delivering a two-out RBI double and then scored on a triple by Jeremy O’Hara that cut the deficit to one. Attleboro would tie it with a run in the seventh and win on a run in the eighth. Huntington was 2-for-3 with an RBI, two runs scored, was hit by a pitch, and stole three bases in the game.
The following day at Mansfield, Attleboro scored the go-ahead run in the top of the seventh to secure another one-run win. Huntington doubled in the seventh to put runners at second and third with no outs and Brady Erwin delivered what turned out to be the game-winning sac fly. Huntington finished 1-for-2 with a double and a walk, drove in one and scored another run. He also made a great diving catch in foul territory with runners at second and third to get the Bombardiers out of a jam in the third inning.
