Sophomore Brooks Fiala has been named MAC East Division Pitcher of the Week by the league office. He was the man on the mound for Miami in their 1-0 victory over Akron, in the third and final game the 'Hawks played against the Zips in a six-hour marathon on Saturday. He pitched 8 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and one intentional walk while striking out eight.
Fiala's season thus far features a record of 3-4. He's made six starts for Miami, but has been called out of the bullpen six times as well, a testament to his versatility. In 48 2/3 innings of work, he has stuck out 33 while walking just 11 batters. He hasn't been too bad at the plate either, posting a .368 average (7-for-19).
The RedHawks will be in action Tuesday, facing Indiana (25-15). The 'Hawks and Hoosiers already met once this year, with Miami scoring six unanswered runs in the seventh and eighth innings to steal a 6-1 win April 5th in Oxford.
