New York, N.Y. -- For the third consecutive week a Creighton pitcher has claimed the top weekly honor from the BIG EAST as sophomore Cade Lommel collected the BIG EAST Pithcer of the Week nod on Monday, April 18. Fellow sophomore Alan Roden also earned some recognition with a spot on the BIG EAST Honor Roll.
Lommel was dominant in the series finale, limiting St. John's to a pair of unearned runs in 7.1 innings. The southpaw notched a career-best nine strikeouts, allowing just six hits and one walk to earn his first win of the season.
