Lawrenceville, Ga. – Centenary senior left-hander Connor Lee (Sugarland, Texas) was named the SCAC Baseball Pitcher of the Week on Monday for games played from Sunday, February 7 through Sunday, February 14.

Lee pitched in both of the Gents' games last week and in seven innings pitched he did not allow an earned run with five strikeouts and no walks, in leading Centenary to a pair of non-conference wins over Louisiana College (6-1) and ETBU (7-4).

Lee started last Tuesday's season opener, pitching an inning and recording a strikeout and then started Friday's game against ETBU as he was solid, going six innings and needing just 56 total pitches, throwing 37 for strikes. He allowed three runs, none earned, with no walks and four strikeouts.

Lee entered the season as one of the Gents' leaders of the pitching staff after starting five games last season as a junior, going 1-0 with a 2.48 ERA, which was second on the team. He allowed 16 runs, eight earned, and 31 hits in 29 innings pitched. He walked seven and struck out 22.

He has twice been named to the SCAC Student-Athlete Academic Honor Roll but this marks his first Pitcher of the Week honor.
