MONMOUTH, Ill. —
A fast
start to the conference season has earned Monmouth College’s Robbie
Hinkle (Galesburg, Ill./Galesburg) his second Midwest Conference
Pitcher of the Week award in as many weeks.
Hinkle threw his
third consecutive conference complete-game shutout in a 7-0 blanking
of Knox College Saturday to keep Fighting Scots atop the South
Division with a 6-0 record. The right-hander struck out eight and
scattered just three hits with two walks to improve to 4-0 on the
season. Opposing batters hit just .103 against him as he didn’t
allow a runner past second.
Hinkle has lowered
his ERA to a team-best 2.47. He has held opponents to a minuscule
.187 batting average through six appearances.
