University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa baseball player Isaiah Magdaleno earned his first career Big West Pitcher of the Week award following a dominant performance in the series opener against Ball State on February 26.
Magdaleno had the best start of his career against the Cardinals, setting a personal record with 12 strikeouts over 8.1 innings pitched. Magdaleno retired 17 batters in a row from the third through ninth innings, striking out seven in an eight batter stretch at one point during that run.
This outing set the tone for an incredible weekend for the Rainbow Warrior pitching staff, as the ‘Bows pitchers allowed just one earned run over 36.0 innings for a 0.25 ERA while striking out 46 batters and walking just seven.
Magdaleno ranks 22nd nationally and is tied for first in the Big West with 25 total strikeouts.
