NEW LONDON, CONN.--(3/19/07)--Junior Jacob Pitchford was named the New England Women?s and Men?s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Pitcher of the Week.

The left hander went 5 2/3 innings scattering six hits and allowing just one earned run while walking four and striking out six to earn his first career win.
