Aaron Rubio<\/a> was named the Lone Star Conference Pitcher of the Week, the league announced on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\nThis is the second time this season that Rubio has claimed the league’s weekly pitcher award.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rubio tossed a complete game shutout against West Texas A&M, who had entered the weekend batting .336, which was second in the conference. The Las Vegas native limited the Buffs to a .138 batting average against and walked only one while striking out four batters. Only one WT hitter made it as far as third base during the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The shutout performance lowered Rubio’s season ERA to 3.04, which is the second-best mark among qualified pitchers in the LSC. He has a 6-1 record with three complete games and has pitched 53.1 innings this year. His 43 strikeouts lead the team, and opponents are batting just .257 against him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lubbock Christian is coming off back-to-back series wins against St. Edward’s and West Texas A&M, improving to 21-17 on the year. They will take the diamond next against Eastern New Mexico this weekend at Hays Field.
