CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Miami junior pitcher Cesar Carrillo was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Pitcher of the Week for the second time this season for his performance last week against a powerful Georgia Tech lineup.

Carrillo pitched seven innings and gave up one run to the Yellow Jackets on six hits, with while striking out six in a 20-1 win Friday, March 25 at Mark Light Field. He improved his season record to 6-0 and tied a Miami school record for consecutive decisions won (18) and most wins before a loss in a career (18-0). The right-hander has struck out 55 batters against only eight walks in 48.0 innings this season with a 1.12 ERA.
