Evan Parks Named ODAC Pitcher of the Week

Salem, Va. – Roanoke College's Evan Parks named the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Baseball Pitcher of the Week.

Parks, a sophomore from Roanoke, Va., tossed a gem against Elizabethtown to move to 2-0 on the young season. Parks worked a full 9.0 frames on the way to earning a 6-0 shutout of the Blue Jays. He surrendered just four hits and did not walk a batter despite hitting one. He fanned seven on the way to facing just 32 batters. Parks set down the first 11 Blue Jays to face him and enjoyed a run of eight straight outs thru the middle innings. Parks is now 2-0 in three starts with a 1.00 ERA over 18.0 innings of work. Opponents are hitting just .161 against him.
