Johnson Tabbed C-USA Pitcher of the Week
DBU Baseball's Ryan Johnson was named the Conference USA Pitcher of the Week as announced by the C-USA league office on Monday. Johnson, a sophomore right-hander from Red Oak, Texas, surrendered just two runs over 7.0 innings and registered a career-high 12 strikeouts in a 6-2 win over Charlotte on Friday. After allowing two runs in the first inning, Johnson retired the next 20 batters in the 49ers lineup. In his season-high 7.0 innings of work, Johnson surrendered just two hits and did not allow a walk to improve to 3-1 on the season.
With today's announcement, Johnson becomes the second pitcher from DBU to earn C-USA Pitcher of the Week honors. Braxton Bragg previously earned the award after his 12-strikeout performance on Opening Day against Fordham. Earlier today, Johnson was also named the National Pitcher of the Week by the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper.
Johnson and the Patriots return to action on Tuesday when they host No. 14 Oklahoma State. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at Horner Ballpark.
