NEW YORK, N.Y. - Senior Josh Prevost (Belle Mead, N.J.) was named BIG EAST Baseball Pitcher of the Week on Monday. Teammate Dillon Hamlin (Colts Neck, N.J.) was added to the conference's Weekly Honor Roll.
Prevost receives the honor for the first time in his career. The 6-foot-8 right-hander made his first appearance as Seton Hall's Friday starter on February 14, and pitched well. Prevost held 28th-ranked Oklahoma to just one earned run on five hits in Seton Hall's 7-5 opening day victory. A unanimous selection to the BIG EAST's Preseason All-Conference team, he also struck out five batters and walked just two.
Hamlin batted .556 in two games this weekend. On Friday, he recorded a career-high four hits (4-for-5), including his second career home run. The sixth inning blast broke a 4-4 tie and Seton Hall never trailed again.
Xavier's Andre Jernigan was named Player of the Week. Those joining Hamlin on the Honor Roll include: Xavier's Adam Hall, St. John's James Lomangino, Butler's Will Amador and Villanova's Kevin Jewitt.
The Pirates will return to action on Friday, February 21 for the first of a three-game series at the University of Richmond. First pitch is scheduled for 3:00 p.m.
