Jakob Hernandez Earns Second KJCCC Pitcher of the Week Award

On the heels of his second complete game shutout of the season, Seward County sophomore Jakob Hernandez has been named the Jayhawk Conference Pitcher of the Week for the second time this season as announced by the league Tuesday. 

In his only action of the week, Hernandez was outstanding, striking out 10 Midland hitters in a 3 hit shutout over the Chaps.  Hernandez faced the minimum through five innings and pitched out of a late jam with a pair of strikeouts to finish the game and keep the shutout intact. 

On the season Hernandez is 3-1 with a 0.83 ERA, striking out 37 batters in just 21 2/3 innings pitched.  Opposing hitters are hitting just .183 against the southpaw.
