Staumont named Fall League Pitcher of the Week

"It's a huge honor, there's a ton of great guys out here and honestly, everyone has ups and downs," Staumont said. "So it's nice to have a good week and kind of finish it out strong."

The only run he has allowed came in Saturday's game against the Glendale Desert Dogs. The Surprise Saguaros went on the win the game 10-8, but Staumont did not earn the win for his 3 1/3 innings.

"It was unfortunate to give up a run. I made some good pitches, but he got it on a swinging strike," Staumont said.

Staumont has allowed only five hits in his three starts, and the only run to score while he was on the mound for the Saguaros came because of a wild pitch on a swinging strike that put Nationals No.
