Garrett Apker, a right-handed pitcher from Cal State San Marcos, has been named the CCAA Baseball Pitcher of the Week for the week of Feb. 14-20, after a dominant outing.

Apker, a senior from Simi Valley, threw a complete game on Sunday in the Cougar’s 3-2 win over No. 17 Colorado Mines. The much-needed win helped the Cougars avoid a series sweep.

In the gem, Apker struckout a program-record 13 batters and gave up just two runs on five hits. Nine of his strikeouts were swinging fans. Apker’s 9-inning performance was the 19th in program history and the first since 2017. His CSUSM-record 13 strikeouts were the most since Mike Lopez threw 12 on Feb. 1, 2019.

Apker also threw two innings earlier in the week with two strikeouts without yielding a hit or run. In all, Apker pitched 11 innings, gave up two runs on five hits with 15 K’s in two outings. Opponents batted .139 against him. 

Cal State San Marcos (3-5) will play a pair against La Sierra on Sunday, Feb. 27, before opening CCAA play the following week.
