Bonczkowski Delivers Dominant Weekend as Archers Sweep Rochester Series

St. Louis Community College sophomore infielder Nicholas Bonczkowski powered the Archers' offense throughout a three-game sweep of Rochester Community and Technical College, delivering a weekend filled with timely hitting, power production, and consistent on‑base presence.

Across the Feb. 20–21 series, Bonczkowski went a combined 6-for-7 with 6 RBI, extra‑base power, three walks, a home run, stolen base, and multiple run-scoring plays that ignited or extended STLCC rallies in each of the program's victories.

Game 1: Bonczkowski's Early Homer Sparks 13–3 Run‑Rule Win (Feb. 20)

St. Louis CC opened the weekend with a 13–3 six-inning victory—and it was Bonczkowski who set the tone from the first inning.

• In the bottom of the 1st, Bonczkowski launched a two-run home run to left, putting STLCC up 2–0.
• In the 4th, he showcased his baserunning awareness, stealing second base, allowing M. Floyd to score on the play.
• Bonczkowski finished the game 2-for-2 with 3 RBI, 2 runs scored, 2 walks, and the room‑clearing blast that put STLCC in control early.

His production fueled an offensive surge that included a five-run 5th and six-run 6th as the Archers pulled away decisively.

Game 2: Perfect Day at the Plate Highlights 11–0 Shutout (Feb. 21 – Game 1)

Bonczkowski remained locked in during STLCC's 11–0 run-rule shutout in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

• The sophomore went 2-for-2 and drove in a run, including a sacrifice fly that added to STLCC's early 3–0 advantage.
• His consistent contact helped extend innings that eventually led to a massive eight-run 5th, punctuated by a grand slam from teammate Jack Burle.

Bonczkowski reached base in all three of his plate appearances and contributed to the pressurized, mistake‑forcing offense that generated 11 runs on just six hits.

Game 3: Clutch Double Fuels Comeback in 9–8 Walk-Off Victory (Feb. 21 – Game 2)

In the series finale, Bonczkowski again played a pivotal role—this time as STLCC stormed back late to earn a dramatic walk-off win.

• In the 3rd inning, he ripped a two-run double to right, part of a three-run frame that erased an early 4–1 deficit.
• He finished 2-for-3 with another pair of RBI in a game decided by STLCC's patience and timely hitting.

His run production helped position the Archers for a seventh-inning rally that ended with three straight run‑producing plate appearances, securing the 9–8 victory and a series sweep.

Weekend Summary: Bonczkowski by the Numbers

Over three games, the sophomore infielder delivered one of the most complete offensive weekends of the early STLCC season:

• 6-for-7 (.857)
• 6 RBI
• HR, double
• 3 walks
• 1 stolen base
• 4 runs scored
• Reached base in 10 of 11 plate appearances
• Produced runs in every game and in multiple situations (power, situational hitting, patience, baserunning)

Head Coach Scott Goodrich praised Bonczkowski's consistent, mature approach at the plate throughout the weekend.

"Nick gave us professional-quality at‑bats every time he stepped into the box," Goodrich said. "He set the tone in Game 1 and kept pressure on pitchers all weekend. You can't ask for much more from a middle‑of‑the‑order hitter."

Archers Improve to 6–2

With the sweep of Rochester, St. Louis Community College moves to 6–2 on the young season, fueled by an offense that produced 33 runs across the three victories.

Bonczkowski's weekend performance positions him as one of the early-season statistical leaders for STLCC, providing power, consistency, and veteran presence as the Archers continue their February momentum.
