OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – The Illinois Tech baseball team earned more weekly honors this week, as right-handed pitcher John Zalewski was named Player of the Week by the Association of Division III Independents on Tuesday.
Tech starting pitching threw three consecutive complete games in a two-day span in Florida last week, with Zalewski being one of those arms. In a 1-0 win against Fitchburg State on Friday, the Chicago native went the distance in the seven-inning contest, striking out eight while allowing just three hits and two walks. The shutout also included a stretch of six straight hitters who were sent down swinging.
The Scarlet Hawks are slated to open the home schedule on Saturday at noon with a doubleheader against Milwaukee School of Engineering at Ed Glancy Field. Live audio, video, and statistics will be available. The live audio will be powered by Illinois Media School.
