Flashes' home opener Tuesday at 3
Kent State junior Joey Murray has been named the Mid-American Conference Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced today, March 19.
Murray took a no-decision on a spectacular performance Saturday in Cullowhee when he tossed six shutout innings against Western Carolina. The junior righty fanned 10 and walked only two while allowing just three hits. The Golden Flashes rallied to win in extra innings, 6-4.
On the year, Murray is 1-1 with an earned run average of 1.98. He has made five starts and worked 27.1 innings – both team highs. He also leads the staff in strikeouts with 34, a figure which ranks him third in the league. Opponents are hitting .175 against the Dublin Coffman product.
KSU will open a four-game homestand this Tuesday when Youngstown State come to town for a 3 p.m. first pitch. Ball State is in for the weekend to start the league slate.
