Pease collects his third NEC Rookie honor of the season after posting two complete game conference victories last week. He yielded 13 hits in 14.0 innings of work, compiled a 3.86 ERA, struck out 11 and issued just one free pass in the two outings. Pease had just one rough inning all week, allowing five runs on four hits in the third frame of a 17-5 win over St. Francis (NY) on Monday. He was nearly unhittable the remainder of the contest, retiring the last ten batters he faced to put the finishing touches on a six-hitter. The Baltimore, MD native came back on Friday to toss a seven-hitter in a 4-1 win over Monmouth. He permitted a lone run, did not walk a batter and struck out seven. On the season, Pease improved to 5-1 and is now tied for the league lead in victories. He also paces the NEC in innings pitched (51.1), strikeouts (55) and complete games (four), and ranks third in ERA (2.45). In league play, Pease is 3-1 with a 2.59 ERA.
