D3baseball.com All-America First Team - Dominic Perachi
NEWPORT, R.I. (June 1, 2022) - Salve Regina University junior Dominic Perachi (Washington Depot, Conn.) adds to his 2022 accolades with a selection to the D3baseball.com All-America First Team.
Perachi began his 2022 campaign with an immaculate inning (nine pitches, nine strikes, three outs) in the season-opening first frame against Johnson & Wales University (W, 7-0). He finished with 16 strikeouts over seven innings and earned multiple weekly accolades including Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Pitcher of the Week (3/7/22), D3baseball.com Team of the Week, and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers' Association (NCBWA).
His next start came in Florida when the Seahawks took on Farmingdale State and the only hit allowed was a dribbler up the first base line to the first batter he faced. He struck out 13 Rams and then returned to the mound later that week in the Sunshine State to face a perennial NCAA postseason participant Southern Maine and handcuffed the Huskies for the second time in two straight matchups (last year's NCAA Regional in Hartford, Conn., hosted by Trinity College).
Returning to New England, Perachi took the bump in the first of several weekend matchups with CCC foes and extended his string of starts without allowing an earned run to five. Wentworth was the first team to notch an earned run against the junior lefty and that did not come until the seventh frame of an eight-inning, complete-game outing where Perachi struck out a season-high 17 batters.
He was charged with another earned run in a 9-2 victory over Suffolk University in Boston while striking out nine Rams. A mid-week matchup with previously nationally-ranked Roger Williams University, then undefeated in CCC play, gave Perachi the opportunity to vault the Seahawks onto a path to first place in the league.
Perachi faced the Hawks again among his final three outings which also included a pair of nationally-ranked teams, No. 16/22 Endicott College and No. 11 University of Lynchburg. In each of those three starts, he reached double-digit strikeouts to establish a new single-season program record of 120 Ks.
The Seahawks (30-13-2) clinched first place in the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) with a doubleheader sweep of Endicott, also undefeated in CCC play before meeting in Newport, on the final weekend of the regular season. Perachi matched his season-high in innings pitched (eight) and exited against the Gulls with the game tied before Salve Regina won on a walk-off basehit from Chris Veneruso (Westport, Conn.) in the bottom of the ninth. Perachi had three combined shutouts on the season.
