WEEK 6 STATS: 1 start, W, 8.0 IP, 0 R, 3 H (0 XBH), 2 BB, 7 K, 0.63 WHIP
Karinchak blanked the LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds for 8.0 innings in Bryant’s 3-1 series-opening triumph and was nearly unhittable while doing so. Spinning a gem that improved his record to 5-1 this season, the sophomore right-hander held his opponent hitless for the game’s first 5.1 frames. Karinchak, who fanned seven batters and walked two during a 107-pitch outing, saw his no-hit bid come to an end on an one-out single in the sixth inning. Pitching to an 0.63 WHIP, the Empire State handed a 3-0 lead over to the bullpen after completing 8.0 frames and allowing only three harmless singles.
