Sophomore Colin McDonald (GHS ‘21) of the University of Southern Maine Huskies’ baseball team has been named the Maine College Baseball & Softball Association Pitcher of the Week.

McDonald’s recognition is the first of the season for the Huskies’ right-handed pitcher. McDonald earned his first win of the season, leading Southern Maine to a 12-2 win on the road at Rhode Island College in the first game of a Little East Conference doubleheader on Saturday March 22. Allowing just one earned run on six hits and two walks, McDonald struck out seven, and retired eight batters in a row in the middle innings for a dominant performance.

In four appearances this season, McDonald is 1-1 with a 4.09 ERA and 1.14 WHIP (Walks & Hits per inning pitched) in 22 innings pitched. McDonald has held his opponents to a .207 batting average and has 21 strikeouts.

The Huskies April schedule coming up is jam-packed; they are on the road to Plymouth State back home April 9 and 10 to host Colby and Babson and back on the road the weekend of April 12 to take on Eastern Connecticut State, followed by a home return on April 15-16 to face Bowdoin and Endicott.
