Lumsden Named ACC Pitcher-of-the-Week for Second Straight Week

March 10, 2003

Clemson sophomore lefthander Tyler Lumsden (Roanoke, VA) was named ACC Pitcher-of-the-Week for the second-straight week for his performance against Old Dominion Friday in the Tigers’ 2-0 win. He allowed just three hits and one walk while striking out seven in his first complete game as a Tiger.

He also did not allow a baserunner past second base the entire game for the second-straight game, improving that personal streak to 16.1 innings pitched. He improved his record to 3-0, as he has allowed just one earned run and three walks while striking out 21 batters in 22.1 innings pitched this year. Lumsden also defeated #16 Auburn and #6 South Carolina earlier in the season.

In the weekly polls released today, Clemson remained ranked #19 in both the Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball polls, while also remaining at #18 in the Sports Weekly/ESPN coaches’ poll.
