Delaplane named MAC West Pitcher of the Week

Senior pitcher Sam Delaplane has been named MAC West division pitcher of the week for the Eastern Michigan Eagles.

The senior right-hander threw his first complete game of his career in a 8-2 win over the Ohio Bobcats on Saturday, April 15. He struck out a career high 12 batters on his way to the win while also not giving a walk. The senior allowed only two runs with only one of them being earned which has set his ERA this year at a team-low 2.86.

This win was game-two of a three game sweep by the Eagles against Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. The team has started off the Mid-American Conference part of the season with a 7-2 record. 

The team will now travel to Rochester, Mich. to face Oakland University on Tuesday, April 18. The game is slotted for 2 p.m.
