For the second time this season, Ripon College freshman pitcher
Mitchell Lukasik has been named Midwest Conference Pitcher of the Week, as announced Monday by the conference office. The Red Hawks swept this week's weekly conference honors, with fellow first-year player, infielder
Samuel Ott, receiving MWC Position Performer of the Week honors.
A Neenah, Wis. native, Lukasik won both of his starts last week to remain undefeated in his college career (5-0), tossing a pair of complete games. Pitching a combined 15 innings, he posted an ERA of 3.60 and a WHIP of 0.87 during the week, to go along with 12 strikeouts. In an 11-1 victory at University of Chicago, Lukasik tossed a one-hitter without allowing an earned run. He followed that up with a 21-6 victory in which he struck out a career-high 11 batters at Knox College.
Lukasik currently boasts team-highs in both ERA (3.28) and WHIP (1.18), while also ranking second on the team in strikeouts (30).
