SCHAUMBURG, IL — Quincy Nieporte was chosen as the Frontier League’s Player of the Week on Monday. The weekly awards are chosen by Pointstreak, the official statistical provider of the Frontier League.

Nieporte logged a hit in all six games played last week and has hit safely in every game played for the Boomers this season. The right-handed hitter totaled 10 hits on the week for a .455 average with two homers, a double and nine RBIs. Nieporte notched three multi-hit games during the week including a three-hit showing on June 3 at Joliet. The second-year member of the Boomers homered in back-to-back games against Evansville on June 4 and 5. Nieporte finished the week by driving home three runs in the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader.
