SUWANEE, Ga. – Junior Boomer Hudson has been selected as the SCAC’s Co-Pitcher-of-the-Week for games played Monday, March 1 through Sunday, March 7.
A native of Douglasville, Ga., Hudson came to the rescue for the Majors in both games against Austin College over the weekend.
He recorded his first save of the season on Saturday pitching 4 2/3 innings while allowing no runs and just one hit and retired the last 10 batters he faced.
Sunday afternoon, Hudson entered the game with the bases loaded and promptly got a fly ball out before striking out the final batter to earn the save.
Hudson pitched 5 1/3 innings allowing just one hit while striking out six and holding the ‘Roos to a dismal .059 batting average.
He shares the award with Greg Bartleski of Sewanee, who tossed a complete-game shutout in a 10-0 win against Centre, going eight innings while scattering just three hits and striking out nine batters.
The honor marks the first time a Millsaps pitcher has received the award since Aaron Williams on Feb. 17, 2009.
