North Alabama starting pitcher Chad Boughner (JR, 6-1, 170, Florence, AL) repeats as the Gulf South Conference Baseball Pitcher of the Week for the week ending March 18.
Boughner earns his second consecutive honor and third in the last four weeks, after turning in a near-perfect performance in UNA’s series-clinching, 12-0 victory at West Georgia on Sunday. The junior came within one strike of a perfect game, retiring the first 20 batters that he faced, until giving up back-to-back singles in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Florence, AL native forced a pop-out to end the game and notch his fourth win of the season behind six strikeouts.
