DICKSON NAMED SAC PITCHER OF THE WEEK

 

             

  ROCK HILL, S.C. --  Tusculum junior right-hander Brandon Dickson (West Marbury, Ala.) has been named the South Atlantic Conference Pitcher of the Week, league officials announced on Monday.

 

Working seven innings in relief, Dickson picked up one win and did not allow an earned run.  He surrendered just five hits while walking none and striking out five.

 
Dickson’s win came in the Pioneers’ 11-5 victory over Wingate on Sunday, which secured the series sweep.  Giving up just one hit with no walks and three strikeouts, he improved to 4-2 with the victory.

 

Dickson is the second Tusculum player to earn Pitcher of the Week recognition, as Brent Gabel secured the honor on Feb. 27.

 

The South Atlantic Conference Pitcher of the Week is determined by a vote conducted among the league’s eight sports information directors.
