BIRMINGHAM, Ala.- Union University's Lane Evans has been named the Gulf South Conference Pitcher of the Week. The next day, Evans added National Collegiate Baseball Writers Assiciation (NCBWA) South Region Pitcher of the Week. The honors encompass performances from April 20-26.

This follows a strong performance to cap off the senior's collegiate career.

Evans earned his third win of season after being credited with an 11-5 complete game decision at Christian Brothers last week. The senior right-hander went 9.0 innings and tossed a career-best 13 strikeouts, while surrendering five runs on nine hits. 

Evans showcased command and durability throughout the outing, limiting free passes to just one while facing 37 batters across his nine innings of work . He consistently worked ahead in counts and generated swings and misses, recording strikeouts in multiple innings to keep the Buccaneers off balance.

Evans, the pitcher from Newbern, Tennessee, spent his entire collegiate career as a Bulldog.
