MONMOUTH, Ill. – Monmouth College’s Beau Hellman turned in a superb pitching performance Saturday and as a result earned the Midwest Conference Performer of the Week honor.

The senior pitcher from Ottawa, Ill. (Marquette), tossed a 5-0 shutout against Grinnell. Hellman went the distance, allowing just two hits over nine innings, as just four Grinnell hitters reached base. He struck out nine and walked one to improve his record to 3-0 and lower his ERA to 0.43. He has allowed just one earned run in 21 innings. Hellman, who at one point retired 16 straight batters, also stroked a two-run single in the fourth inning.
