Once again, Yost Named Pitcher of the Week

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - For the third time in four weeks, Averett University left handed hurler Gene Yost was honored by the USA South Conference as its Pitcher of the Week Tuesday.

Yost, a senior from Lynchburg, VA, pitched a complete game shutout against Greensboro College Saturday night. He helped the Cougars to a 3-0 win by fanning 17 Pride batters and allowing only three hits. Yost also had a perfect game in tact through six and one-third innings.

Yost, who was a first team all-conference selection last season, is 4-1 thus far and owns an ERA of only 1.09 on the year. He and the Cougars put their 10-6 record on the line Wednesday when they face two different opponents in two separate time zones. Averett faces Huntingdon College in Montgomery, AL at noon and travel to Lagrange College in GA for a 6 p.m. tilt later that evening.
