Rio Grande's Lewis picks up RSC Baseball Pitcher of the Week March 6-12
FLORENCE, Ky. -- University of Rio Grande senior Daryin Lewis spun a four-hit shutout to pick up River States Conference Baseball Pitcher of the Week for March 6-12.
A senior right-hander from Circleville, Ohio, Lewis shut out Brescia, 1-0, in a complete-game victory last weekend. In addition to giving up just the four hits, he struck out eight and walked only one.
The victory pushed Lewis's record to 4-0 in seven outings (three starts) and lowered his conference-best ERA to 1.03. The win propelled the RedStorm to the 3-1 series win over the Bearcats to maintain a tie for first place at 6-2 RSC.
Rio Grande (12-11, 6-2 RSC) has its next games this weekend versus IU Southeast (10-6, 6-2 RSC) for a matchup of the top teams in the RSC standings.
