AARON ALEMAN OF TEXAS LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY, a senior right handed pitcher from Corpus Christi, Texas, has been selected the SCAC Baseball Pitcher-of-the-Week for games played through Monday, March 23rd.

Aleman dominated on the mound against Trinity this past weekend en rout to a series win over the 13th-ranked Trinity Tigers at home.
 
Aleman was on top of his game against No. 13-ranked Trinity, tossing a complete-game, four-hit shutout. His effort helped lead the Bulldogs to a 6-0 win in the series opener. Eventually the Bulldogs took two-out-of-three in the series.
 
The senior quieted the Trinity bats all game, not allowing a Tiger baserunner past second base. It was the first time Trinity has been shut out in an SCAC contest since March 26th, 2011, a 5-0 shutout to Hendrix College
 
Aleman struck out five in the nine innings, lowering his ERA to 1.76 on the year, good for third in the conference. It was the second complete game of the season for Aleman. Earlier he tossed another four-hit complete game against Louisiana College, giving up just one run.
