Kenkel named Pitcher of the Week

Posted

ELMHURST, Ill. – South Dakota State right-hander Ethan Kenkel was named Summit League Pitcher of the Week, as announced Monday.

The senior from Storm Lake, Iowa, pitched six-plus shutout innings, allowing only two singles as the Jackrabbits claimed the series finale from North Dakota State, 1-0, on April 9. Kenkel's six innings pitched and six strikeouts both set new career highs in recording his first win of the season.

Kenkel is the second Jackrabbit to be honored as Summit League Pitcher of the Week in 2017. Fellow senior right-hander Ryan Froom was honored both Feb. 20 and March 20.

SDSU, 14-13 overall and in second place in the league standings with a 7-5 mark, is scheduled to play a nonconference game Tuesday at Creighton before resuming Summit action with a three-game weekend series at Western Illinois.
