ATLANTA-Millsaps Majors right-hander Daniel Ross has been named the Southern Athletic Association pitcher of the week.
Ross, a freshman from Alpharetta, Georgia, was masterful on Sunday in the rubber match against Centre. In a game moved to Smith-Wills Stadium due to conditions, Ross adapted to his new, albeit temporary home.
The righty allowed just two hits, both singles, in a complete game shutout. Ross needed just 73 pitches to mow through the Colonels over seven innings. He walked nobody while striking out three. Ross' efficiency allowed the Majors to keep rolling on offense en route to a 13-0 win and a series win over Centre.
On the year, Ross is 2-0 in 9 appearances including four starts. He sports a tidy 2.96 earned run average and has struck out 16 in 27 innings of work.
