Pitcher Hunter Gaddis is the Georgia State Student-Athlete of the Week, powered by the U.S. Marines, after the Georgia State ace struck out the final four batters to lead the Panthers to a 5-4 victory at Georgia Southern in the regular-season finale, sending GSU to the Sun Belt Championship.
In a rare relief appearance, the sophomore right-hander entered the game with the bases loaded and two outs in the eighth inning of a tie game. He needed just three pitches to strike out the Georgia Southern DH and cleanup hitter.
After the Panthers scored the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth, Gaddis struck out the side in the bottom of the ninth to seal the victory.
