IRVING, TEXAS - For the second time in his career Southern Miss pitcher Todd McInnis was named the C-USA Pitcher of the Week, announced by the C-USA office today.
The 2009 C-USA Pitcher of the year and 2010 preseason C-USA Pitcher of the Year was dominate in his 2010 debut striking out nine Northwestern State batters in his six innings of work before he reached his pitch limit and left the game.
McInnis took a no hitter into the fifth inning, allowing only one base runner, a hit batter, before giving up a soft-groundball single through the right side with two outs in the fifth inning.
The win was the 20th in his career, moving him into fifth place all-time on the career record list.
McInnis earned C-USA Pitcher of the Week honor last season for his performance against Memphis the final week of the regular season, essentially giving him the last two C-USA Pitcher of the Week Honors.
Southern Miss returns to action Wednesday as they host Mississippi Valley State and McInnis is scheduled to pitch again on Friday as the Golden Eagles host LeMoyne College in a weekend series.
