North Alabama starting pitcher Chad Boughner (JR, 6-1, 170, Florence, AL) is the Gulf South Conference Baseball Pitcher of the Week for the week ending February 26.
Boughner collects his first-ever award thanks to a dominating performance on the mound the Lions’ 8-3 home triumph over Quincy on Sunday. The junior set a school record by striking out 16 in 8.0 innings of work which was the most by a GSC hurler this season. The Florence, AL native fanned 16 of the 29 batters faced and he secured his second victory of the season, while scattering three hits and allowing one earned run.
