BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The University of West Alabama’s Matt Hill was named Gulf South Conference East Division Pitcher of the Week for his effort at West Florida on Saturday night that helped the Tigers (25-10) secure a berth in the GSC Baseball Tournament.

Hill, a D’Iberville, Miss.-native, gave the Red and White a chance to win its fourth GSC series of the season by pitching a one-run, complete game. The complete game was the third of the season for the senior right-hander, who allowed five hits with seven strikeouts and just two walks in the 9-1 win.

Hill became the third UWA player and first pitcher to be honored by the conference this season. Rob Dahlberg and Jody Morgan each have claimed one accolade this season. This marks Hill’s first career weekly honor by the conference.

West Alabama returns to action on Wednesday, Apr. 8, as the Tigers host William Carey at 6:00 p.m. Live stats will be available at athletics.uwa.edu.
