April 13, 2009
MONMOUTH, Ill. —
Seeing his first
regular action on the mound has agreed with Monmouth College’s
Robbie Hinkle (Galesburg, Ill./Galesburg) who has been named the
Midwest Conference Pitcher of the Week.
Hinkle threw his
second complete-game shutout in seven days with a 2-0 win over
Illinois College to keep the Fighting Scots atop the South Division
with a 4-0 record. The sophomore hurler fanned a career-high nine
batters, walked one and scattered five hits with his second win –
both shutouts – over the Blueboys in the span of a week. Hinkle
didn’t allow a runner past second and allowed only two base runners
over the last four innings.
The Fighting Scots’
No. 2 starter saw only 3.1 innings of action last season, but has
pitched 31 innings this season while compiling a 3-0 record with a
3.19 ERA.
