DePauw Phi Named Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Year |
 With an 8-1 record with a 2.58 earned run average entering the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament, DePauw sophomore pitcher Elliott Ross has been named the conference's Pitcher of the Year. The announcement was made this evening at the conference tournament in Millington, Tenn.
Ross was one of six DePauw players earning all-SCAC honors. The left hander is the second Tiger in three years to earn the honor. Ross was a two-time SCAC Pitcher of the Week this year and has won his last eight decisions. In 45 1/3 innings he struck out 45 and allowed just 12 walks and 38 hits with opposing hitters batting just .218. He also recorded one save.
He appeared in four SCAC games, making two starts, and didn't allow a run in 18 1/3 innings. In that span he struck out 18 and walked just three with nine hits and opposing batters hit just .141.
Joining him on the first team is junior Phi shortstop Ben Gardner. Gardner is batting .368 on the season with three homers and 15 RBI. He led the Tigers with 14 stolen bases in 16 attempts. Gardner missed much of the first third of the season due to injury, but has hit safely in 14 of his last 15 games and is batting .526 (30-57) in that time. He earned honorable mention last year.
