David Ledbetter has been named the G-MAC Pitching Athlete of the Week for the first time this season. In two starts, he went 2-0 throwing a total of nine innings over the two seven-inning contests, including one conference win.
Ledbetter improved to 5-4 on the season with the wins, while extending his lead in strikeouts among conference pitchers. In nine innings this past week, Ledbetter struck out 17 hitters, giving him 71 on the season in 44.2 innings. Second best total is 47 strikeouts in 44.1 innings by Urbana’s Justin Robinson.
This past week, Ledbetter allowed two runs on six hits in two starts. He lowered his earned run average 3.43, which ranks second in the conference behind only his twin brother Ryan. The brothers now each have one G-MAC Pitcher of the Week honor each.
The Yellow Jackets went a perfect 5-0 last season, including a pair of conference wins over Urbana. Cedarville improved to 20-9 overall and 5-3 in conference. With just over a week of action remaining, Cedarville controls its own destiny in earning the top seed for the G-MAC Championship Tournament.
