BOONE, N.C. — The league's only pitcher with a nine-inning, complete-game win on the road this season, App State's Tyler Tuthill was named the Sun Belt Conference Pitcher of the Week on Tuesday.
Tuthill struck out 11 batters for the second straight week and handled the bottom of the ninth in a one-run game to finish off a 2-1 victory at Little Rock on Friday. By allowing just the one run on four hits and walking just one batter, his analytic-based "Game Score" of 85 led all Sun Belt pitchers and ranked as the sixth-best Division I pitching performance from this past weekend.
