Breese joins the likes of teammate Brad Brach as Monmouth hurlers who have won the Akadema NEC Pitcher of the Week award this season. The sophomore lefty delivered 7.1 innings of one-run, six-hit ball to earn the victory in the Hawks’ 2-1 mid-week triumph over Temple. Breese, who allowed no walks and struck out six, an was nearly perfect until the seventh when he saw the first three batters of the frame to reach base. With one run across, Breese escaped with minimal damage by inducing a double play liner.
