Shreveport - Freshman RHP Aidan Reichek (Bellaire, Texas) continued to garner individual awards following his no-hitter last weekend, as he was named to the named to the D3baseball.com Team of the Week as a starting pitcher and named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Div. III Rookie of the Week on Wednesday.
Reichek, named the SCAC Baseball Pitcher of the Week on Monday, threw his no-hitter in game two of Centenary's doubleheader on Saturday against the University of Dallas Crusaders, an 18-0 run-rule victory, at Shehee Stadium. The no-hitter is the first thrown since Matthew Devillier held Austin College hitless on April 20, 2018 at home. Reichek and Devillier's no-hitters are the only two in the division III era (2012-present) in program history.
Reichek was as efficient as he was dominant against the Crusaders, needing just 70 pitches in his seven innings of work. He struck out the final two batters of the second, one in the fourth, the first two batters of the fifth, then one in the sixth and one in the seventh. Sean Hannigan pinch hit with two outs in the seventh and flew out to center and after the ball found its way safely into the glove of senior CF Gary Hewitt (Cedar Park, Texas), the mad dash from the Diamond Gents' dugout began and the celebration was on.
Reichek is the second Centenary player to earn the D3Baseball.com honor this season after All-American sophomore LHP Tyler Herrera (Spring, Texas) made the team as a starting pitcher last month.
