Cumbie Named American Pitcher of the Week
5/8/2017 12:00:00 AM | Baseball
PROVIDENCE, R.I. â€" After helping Houston Baseball secure an American Athletic Conference series win over UConn this past weekend, Saturday starter Trey Cumbie was named the league's Pitcher of the Week, announced Monday afternoon.
Cumbie tossed his second career complete en route to a 9-1 victory over the Huskies to secure a conference series victory at home.
The southpaw held UConn to just one run on six hits and two walks in 9.0 innings of work. He struck out six.
The 9.0 innings and complete game match a career-long outing for Cumbie as he tossed a complete-game shutout at then-No. 10 Louisiana on March 21.
Cumbie allowed just one extra base hit in a double and registered four innings of 1-2-3 action.
The win lifted Cumbie's record to a 7-1 mark in 11 starts. He now enters the week, leading the pitching staff with an ERA of 2.41.
