JONESBORO, Ark. (5/1/18) – Arkansas State junior pitcher Nate Alberius was named the Sun Belt Conference Pitcher of the Week in an announcement by the league office Tuesday afternoon.
A native of Little Rock, Ark., Alberius tossed 8.1 innings in A-State’s 6-3 win over South Alabama April 28. The right-hander kept the preseason SBC favorite Jaguars’ offense at bay by allowing just three runs on five hits with two strikeouts against three walks. He found himself at 90 pitches through five innings in the contest, but only needed 34 pitches to get the next 10 outs.
