Steven Jurkiewicz Named NAC Pitcher of the Week

2015 Apr 7

After helping the Spartans capture a victory in the nightcap of a doubleheader against Thomas (Me.) last Tuesday, sophomore Steven Jurkiewicz of Essex Jct., VT was honored today as the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) Pitcher of the Week, as announced by the conference.

Jurkiewicz delivered a fantastic performance in his lone start of the week, helping Castleton record a 1-0 victory over the Terriers to split a two-game set. In that contest, the southpaw tossed a complete game shutout with eight strikeouts while walking one and allowing just three hits. He now stands at 2-0 on the season with a 2.12 ERA and 13 strikeouts in 17 innings pitched.

This marks the first time in Jurkiewicz's career that he has received Pitcher of the Week honors from the conference for his excellence on the mound.
