Pitcher of the Week
Aaron Zapata / SO / University of Valley Forge / Colton, Calif. / Grand Terrace
Zapata had a monster week on the bump, factoring into all three of the Patriot wins. In the Thursday win over Penn State Brandywine, Zapata got the start and win as he allowed just three hits and no earned runs through 6.1 innings of work. The sophomore then came out of the bullpen in both games of the doubleheader against Notre Dame of Maryland on Saturday, picking up two saves in the process. He'd toss 2.0 innings across both appearances, allowing just one hit. Zapata finished the week with a 0.00 ERA and six punch outs over 8.1 innings of work
This is the first Pitcher of the Week award for Zapata of his career.
