ANDY RICHTER, Eastern Mennonite, Junior, Pitcher

Richter, a junior from Perkasie, Pa., threw his second straight complete game victory on Sunday as he completed his ODAC-leading fourth complete game.  He allowed just one earned run and struck out 11 batters in a 9-2 win over Roanoke.  The 11 strikeouts are a career high as the junior has lowered his ERA by 1.30 over his past two games.  Richter finishes his season with career bests in most pitching categories.  He also leads the ODAC in complete games, innings pitched and starts, and is tied for the league-lead with 58 strikeouts.
