Sophomore breaks
school record with 21 Ks
SBCC pitcher Zach Edgington has been named Athlete of the Week by the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table. The sophomore from San Mateo accepted the award on Monday during the SBART's weekly press luncheon at Harry's Plaza Cafe.
The 6-1 left-hander baffled Ventura last Thursday with a school-record 21 strikeouts in a 4-2 baseball victory at Pershing Park. Edgington gave up one earned run and held the Pirates to six hits in his second complete game of the year. He struck out the side in the first and ninth innings and didn't walk a batter until there were two outs in the ninth.
"That was a pitching performance like I've never seen," said 10th-year SBCC coach Teddy Warrecker.
Edgington (6-3), who has a 2.74 ERA, struck out at least two batters in eight of nine innings. Eight of his Ks came with batters looking at strike three, including all three outs in the ninth.
He ranks second in the state in strikeouts with 97, just seven behind Kyle Petter of El Camino.
The Vaqueros (19-14, 9-8) are in third place in the WSC North with three games remaining and Warrecker feels his team will get a playoff berth if they finish in third.
SBCC has three games in four days this week -- Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. at home against Hancock, Thursday at Cuesta and Friday at 1 p.m. at home vs. Cuesta.
