LOCK HAVEN, Pa. — Coming off a five-inning shutout performance against Pitt-Johnstown last weekend, Evan Hughes was named the PSAC East Pitcher of the Week.
 
Evan Hughes delivered a gem in the first half of ESU's doubleheader against the Mountain Cats, throwing five scoreless innings in the Warriors' 4-0 win. Picking up his second win of the season in as many appearances, Hughes struck out eight while only allowing four hits. After a routine first inning, Hughes also worked himself out of any potential trouble and shut down the Mountain Cats' comeback chances, stranding a runner in scoring position in every inning following.
 
Hughes has stepped up as the Warriors' third starting pitcher behind Ryan Dewees and Ethan Woods. He looks to continue his strong start to his ESU career this weekend as the Warriors host Saint Anselm on Saturday and Sunday for doubleheaders beginning at 11 a.m.
