Freshman pitcher Frankie Cresta (Johnston, Iowa) took home the Pitcher of the Week honors for his performance against Southeastern Illinois College on Sunday, March 24th. Cresta went 5 innings, allowed 5 hits, 2 runs (1 earned), while walking 2 and striking out 9 Falcon hitters in his college debut. Cresta would earn his first career collegiate victory in process.
Coach Joey Pavlovich had this to say about Cresta's performance, "After a shaky start, Frankie settled in nicely and really got into a good rhythm. It was a much needed outing for us with a relatively short bullpen this weekend. I am excited about his progress and the direction in which he is headed. Hopefully he can continue to build off this early success."
