DENTON MARTIN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DALLAS, a junior right handed pitcher from Denton, Texas, has been selected the SCAC Baseball Pitcher-of-the-Week for games played through Sunday, February 8th.

Martin led the Dallas Crusaders to an opening day with over the Sul Ross State Lobos two weekends ago in Irving, Texas.

Martin gave Dallas a phenomenal performance in a complete, seven-inning shutout over Sul Ross State on opening day. He hurled a two-hitter and only allowed one walk. Martin stymed the Lobos' offense by fanning 10 batters, a career high. 

Martin's Crusaders went 1-1 on opening weekend with Sunday's game being called due to weather. 

Other outstanding performances in the SCAC:
Sophomore pitcher Hayden Ray of Schreiner pitched 7.0 innings in a 3-1 win over Sul Ross State. Ray allowed just one run on six hits, three Ks, and a walk. Senior pitcher Aaron Aleman of Texas Lutheran got the year off on the right foot with a six-inning performance against Whittier, striking out a career-high 10 batters in the game, allowing just two hits in the six innings and one run. Senior pitcher Nick Griffith of Trinity helped the 16th-ranked Tiger baseball team finish off a 3-0 week of action by earning the win against Whittier College on Saturday night. Griffith gave up one run on three hits over 5.0 innings of work, striking out six without issuing a walk. Centenary did not nominate anyone. Austin College and Southwestern did not play.
