SALISBURY – A stellar outing in Friday's series-opening victory over USC Aiken has led to more recognition for senior
Jake Inman, as the left-hander from Lake Waccamaw has now been decorated with Southeast Region Pitcher of the Week accolades by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA).
Inman threw 80 pitches after coming out of the bullpen in the 4th inning, registering career highs in innings (6.0) and strikeouts (7). He faced four or fewer batters in all six of his frames, and retired the first eight batters he faced upon coming into the game.
Inman is just the sixth pitcher in program history to earn the recognition from the NCBWA.
UNCP (3-0) will be back in action for the first time at home this Friday, February 9 at 3 p.m. as they host Shepherd for a three-game set. Games 2 and 3 are slated for a Saturday doubleheader starting at noon.
