Sophomore
Paul Bargas was named Big West Pitcher of the Week after
beating #9 Long Beach State on Sunday. |
(April
7, 2008) - The Big West Conference announced Monday that UC
Riverside sophomore Paul
Bargas was named Big West Pitcher of the Week after he
fired a complete game five hitter to beat 9th ranked Long
Beach State this past Sunday.
It is the first career player of the week award for Bargas
(Riverside, CA/North HS/Arizona) who held the 49ers to just
one run and five hits in the Highlanders 7-1 series-clinching
victory on Sunday. He allowed only one hit for the first 5.1
innings before surrendering a solo homer for the only LBSU
run of the day. Bargas then settled down and struck out five,
of his career-high six strikeouts, over the next five innings.
His nine-inning effort was also the first of his career and
the first for the Highlanders this season.
This marks the first weekly award for the Highlanders this
season after they picked up 10 last season.
UCR matches up with #13 San Diego for a home and home series
beginning with a 6 p.m. game at the Riverside Sports Complex
on Tuesday. Bargas won’t take the mound again until
Sunday’s series finale with UCLA in Westwood, CA.
