MURFREESEBORO, Tenn. - Junior Chad Edwards has been named Sun Belt Pitcher of the Week as announced by the league office on Monday.
Edwards helped snap a three-game losing streak by the Blue Raiders in an 8-0 win over Vanderbilt on Tuesday night.
Edwards allowed just six hits, two for extra bases, in nine innings of work. Edwards picked up the first complete game shutout by a Blue Raider since Matt Scott on March 13, 2005. It was the longest outing of Edwards' career, whose longest outing was seven innings.
