SALISBURY, N.C. – For the first time since 2022, a Lander pitcher has earned Southeast Region Pitcher of the Week honors from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA).
Jake Larson added to his Peach Belt Conference Pitcher of the Week award from earlier this week with the NCBWA honor, as announced by the association on Tuesday.
Larson received the recognition after a 2-0 week in which he allowed no earned runs over 11 2/3 innings. He carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning against the Belmont Abbey Crusaders on Tuesday before coming on in relief Sunday against Chowan, where he pitched four perfect innings to help Lander secure its seventh straight win
