Josh Hungerman, Cleveland State
Jr. * LHP
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Hungerman threw a complete-game, four-hitter to lead the Vikings to a 3-1 victory at Butler Friday in the opener of their three-game series. The junior southpaw gave up one earned run in the first inning and held the Bulldogs scoreless the rest of the way, striking out eight while walking only four. It was the first complete game of the season for Hungerman, who improved to 5-3 this season with a 4.93 earned-run average and 60 strikeouts. The win helped Cleveland State snap a season-high six-game losing streak. Hungerman earned Pitcher-of-the-Week honors earlier this year on March 18 and on Feb. 20, 2007.
