SPARTANBURG, S.C. – UNCG pitcher Ryan Clark has been named the General Shale Southern Conference Student-Athlete of the Week, the league announced on Wednesday.
Clark tossed 7.0 scoreless innings en route to his fourth win of the season, as UNCG defeated Western Carolina, 17-2, last Friday in Greensboro, N.C. The junior totaled six strikeouts against just two walks and retired seven straight hitters at one point.
Clark also struck out the side in his final inning of work to cap off the quality start. The native of Johnson City, N.Y. owns a team-low 2.72 earned run average with 30 strikeouts in 36.1 innings pitched.
The management and marketing major has a career 3.64 grade point average.
Also Nominated: Eric Nyquist (Mercer, Baseball), Jordan Garrett (Western Carolina, Softball)
