Decker Named GLIAC Pitcher of the Week

UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. – Saginaw Valley State University baseball's Jack Decker (Farmington Hills, Mich. / North Farmington HS) was named GLIAC Pitcher of the Week on Monday.

Decker threw a scoreless 6.1 innings in a 2-1 upset victory over No. 6 Grand Valley State on Friday. The senior pitcher allowed three hits and two walks and struck out three, only allowing two runners in scoring position. He entered in the third with runners on first and third and stranded them at those bases. Later, the Farmington Hills, Michigan native pitched out of the seventh and eighth innings without allowing lead off doubles to score. Decker is first in the conference in strikeouts with 60 and has struck out a GLIAC-leading 23 of them looking.

It's the third GLIAC Pitcher of the Week award for Decker in his career and second of the season. It's the fourth GLIAC Player of the Week honor of the season for SVSU baseball.

The Cardinals concluded their final homestand and head to Dow Diamond on Tuesday, April 21 to play a doubleheader against Northwood in the Dow Diamond Classic. First pitch is scheduled for 3:35 PM.
