Baseball: Capone named Pitcher-of-the-Week
May 6,
2008
Lacey, WA – Saint Martin’s senior Pat Capone was
named as the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Pitcher-of-the-Week for
his outstanding effort in the Saints’ final series against Western
Oregon University this past weekend.
Capone, in his final game for SMU, tossed a gem
allowing just three hits in 11 innings in the Saints’ 3-2 12-inning win
over the Wolves. He struck out six along the way.
“Pat’s performance was one of the best outings I
have ever seen from a college pitcher. He gave everything he had in his
body to go 11 innings,” said head coach Joe Dominiak. “I have never let
a pitcher go that long before, but with his desire and determination it
was amazing. It was hard for me to take him out of the game, but I knew
he was on empty. My hat goes off to him.”
