Kaleb Moore has been named the G-MAC’s Baseball Pitcher of the Week for the second time this season after a couple of impressive appearances on the mound for the Panthers, who went 4-0 last week in conference action. KWC swept a weekend series against Salem International and went 5-0 overall on the week with a mid-week victory over Kentucky State.
Moore went 2-0 on the week throwing a conference-high 12.1 innings over the two games. He struck out a league-high 14 batters last week and held opposing hitters to a league-low .095 batting average. He allowed just two runs over the two games.
In his second appearance of the week, Moore came in after KWC’s starter went just 1.2 innings and gave up five runs on seven hits. Moore calmed things down and allowed the Panthers to rally to force extra innings and eventually win the game going 7.1 innings allowing just a run on one hit and striking out eight.
In mid-week action, Moore started and threw five scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and striking out six in the team’s 12-1 win.
On the season, Moore is now 4-2 overall in five starts and eight total appearances, with a 3.89 earned run average. He has 34 strikeouts in 34.2 innings pitched.
