Yusko had a marvelous week for Rutgers-Newark, going 10-for-15 at the plate, and earning two wins and a save in the circle
 
Yusko had multiple his in every game the team played, going 6-for-8 in the doubleheader sweep at NJCU and 4-for-7 in the split with Kean. Yusko added one walk and one intentional walk to finish the week with a .667 batting average, a .688 on-base percentage and a ridiculous .800 slugging percentage.
