DALLAS, Texas – Jax State redshirt junior pitcher Eli Pillsbury has been named the Conference USA Pitcher of the Week for the second time this season.

Pillsbury notched a quality start on Friday night to open the series against Kennesaw State, hurling 7.1 innings of one hit baseball, only giving up one earned run and fanning 12 batters, matching a career-high. Pillsbury lowered his season ERA to under 3.00, and only allowed batters to hit .042 against his in his start. Pillsbury also only gave away one free base this week.

The honor makes it the second time that Jax State's entire pitching rotation has earned the honor. 

The Gamecocks will return to action on Tuesday night when Jax State hosts Auburn. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m.
