Thomas Worley, Eastern Mennonite, Freshman
Worley pitched in four of EMU’s five games and did not allow a single run to score.  He only gave two hits in his 6.2 innings of work, while striking out six and walking one.  Worley picked up his first save in Tuesday’s high-scoring win over Stevenson, as he came in with one out in the ninth and struck out two to preserve the win for the Royals.
