RUSTON – Right-handed pitcher Declan Dahl was named the Conference USA's Pitcher of the Week, per the league's release Monday afternoon.
 
The Azle, Texas native tossed seven shutout innings in Friday's 5-0 win to open the series with Delaware. He scattered two hits and two walks while striking out eight batters, while picking up his third win of the season.
 
His seven innings was the longest outing of any CUSA starter in the opening weekend of conference play, and the second-most innings he's recorded in a single game this year.
 
His eight strikeouts are the second-most in a game for the junior, as well as tied the second-most recorded by a CUSA pitcher this past weekend. His 31 overall strikeouts on the season are tied for the third-most in the league, and his three wins are tied for the second-most.
 
Dahl's Pitcher of the Week recognition is the second time a Diamond 'Dog received weekly honors, following Trey Hawsey's Hitter of the Week awarded on February 23.
 
The Bulldogs return to action for a midweek clash with Central Arkansas at the Love Shack on Tuesday, March 17. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT.
