BEN KLIMESH OF TRINITY UNIVERSITY, a senior right-hander from Wilmette, Ill., has been selected the SCAC Baseball Pitcher-of-the-Week for games played from Monday March 5 through Sunday, March 11.
 
Klimesh continued his impressive start to the season with another dominating performance on the mound, sparking Trinity to a two-game series sweep of Southwestern.

Klimesh struck out a career-high 15 batters in the complete-game victory, giving up one run on just two hits in the game. His 15 strikeouts came in just seven innings of work, and he did not allow a walk.  It marks the fourth time this season that Klimesh has struck out 13 or more batters in a game.

Klimesh has moved up to third on Trinity’s career list for strikeouts, and is nearing 300 for his career. He is also just 24 strikeouts from becoming the first player in school history to reach 100 strikeouts in more than one season.

For the season, Klimesh leads Trinity with a 7-0 record, striking out 76 batters in just 47 innings of work. He has yielded eight earned runs in seven appearances, posting an ERA of just 1.53 this season.  Opponents have managed a paltry .160 batting average against Klimesh this year.
