Postill is UWF’s third consecutive Pitcher of the Week. The senior remained undefeated for the season (5-0), thanks to a dominate performance in a 15-1 win over Valdosta State. He notched a complete-game victory, tossing seven innings with four strikeouts, while allowing six hits, one earned run. The Orlando, FL native took a shutout into the seventh inning only to give up a solo homerun before closing out the victory.
