TUSCON, Ariz. - East Carolina freshman Joe Ingle has been named one of eight Louisville Slugger National Players-of-the-Week according to an announcement by Collegiate Baseball Monday.
He becomes the seventh Pirate in school history to take home Collegiate Baseball National Player-of-the-Week honors and the second this second following Luke Lowery's selection back on March 16th.
The Fayetteville, N.C. native, who made three relief appearances on the week, tallied 10 strikeouts in 5.1 scoreless innings of work with one hit. He recorded a career-high seven strikeouts at UNC Wilmington (Mar. 24) in which he fanned all seven batters he faced in 2.2 innings. The lone out he didn't record via a strikeout came when Travis Watkins threw out a runner to end the bottom of the fifth.
Ingle registered one strikeout against Memphis (Mar. 28) in game two of a doubleheader while allowing a hit in one inning of work. The right-hander capped off the week with two more punch-outs in the series finale against the Tigers (Mar. 29) tossing 1.2 scoreless innings of relief.
On the season, he has appeared in 12 games allowing one run (earned) on five hits with 17 strikeouts and eight walks in 13.0 innings for a team third-best 0.69 ERA.
