Aussie Light has been named G-MAC Baseball Pitcher of the Week after his performance against two of the better in-conference opponents, leading KWC to a 5-1 week in conference action. Light pitched a conference high 15 innings, collecting a pair of wins.
In his first outing of the week, Light threw eight innings in game two of a mid-week make-up doubleheader against Cedarville. He allowed just two earned runs, striking out 12 batters in the team’s 6-4 win. Light held the Yellow Jackets scoreless through four innings, before giving up a run on a two-out triple. He left the runner stranded at third and didn’t allow a run until the seventh. In the seventh he gave up two runs with two outs on two hits and two defensive errors, but limited the damage stranding two more runners on base. His day finished after working a perfect eighth inning.
In his next outing, the final game of the weekend series with Alderson Broaddus, Light worked seven scoreless innings striking out nine. After striking out the side in the first inning, he allowed seven hits, but didn’t walk a hitter and left all seven base runners stranded.
