RICHMOND, VA.- Cory Wall has been named the CAA Pitcher of the Week as announced by the organization Monday afternoon after recording a win and a save in two outings in the past six days. Wall earned the win over George Mason last Tuesday before pitching flawlessly in a 12-out save to defeat Canisius Sunday afternoon.
Wall was the winner in Tuesday's victory after allowing just two hits and a run over 3.0 innings of relief work. The righty returned Sunday and struck out a season-high eight batters over the final 4.0 innings to close out a 5-3 win over Canisius.
On the season, Wall owns a 2-1 record with one save over four appearances. The graduate student has struck out a team-high 22 batters and allowed just two walks over 14.1 innings pitched, good for the 38th best strikeout to walk ratio in the nation.
Wall's 2.51 ERA ranks sixth best among all eligible pitchers in the CAA and the righty is second on the team with a tremendous 0.70 WHIP. The reliever ranks 48th in the nation, striking out 13.81 men per nine innings.
Wall and the Tribe will be back in action tomorrow afternoon taking on Virginia in Charlottesville, before hosting Charleston to begin league play this weekend.
