Swenson Earns Second League Pitcher of the Week Award

Box Score

Indianapolis -- Youngstown State sophomore Aaron Swenson has been named the Horizon League Pitcher of the Week for the second time this season, the league announced on Monday.

Swenson earned his sixth league win of the season against Valpo on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits in a complete-game effort.

The Twinsburg, Ohio, native retired 10 straight batters until No. 9 hitter John Giusti singled to start the sixth inning. He was sacrificed to second and scored later in the inning on a two-out single for Valpo's only run.

Swenson is now 6-3 overall and 6-1 in Horizon League games after picking up his fifth complete game victory of the year on Saturday. He leads the Horizon League in innings pitched (85.2) and strikeouts (61), ranks second in wins (6), and is third in ERA (3.68) and opposing batting average (.255).

Swenson will go for his seventh win on Thursday at Miller Park when he pitches against Miwlaukee.
