JERSEY CITY, N.J. - Monmouth's sophomore pitcher Andrew McGee (Toms River, N.J./Toms River South) was named New Jersey Collegiate Baseball Association (NJCBA) Pitcher of the Week, officials announced Monday. McGee earns the distinction after throwing a two-hit shutout of Mount St. Mary's last Friday afternoon.
The southpaw led the Hawks to a 2-0 victory by striking out eight, while scattering a single, a double and yielding one walk over seven innings. The eight punch-outs are a career best for the second-year Hawk, who earned his fifth win of the season with his third complete game. McGee, a Collegiate Baseball/Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American last season, retired the side in order in four innings, while the Mountaineers only managed four base runners in the game.
The Blue and White wraps up its seven-game homestand Tuesday and Wednesday as it hosts Seton Hall and Saint Peter's. Both games are slated for a 3:30 p.m.
