Zack Potts, Lynchburg, So., Pitcher

Potts, a sophomore from Oilville, Va., put together a pair of strong starts to help Lynchburg to a pair of ODAC victories. In a matchup with nationally 12th-ranked Randolph-Macon, Potts started and went the first 5.1 innings of the midweek affair, surrendering one run on five hits before exiting. He walked two and struck out two and took a no decision in the Hornets 3-1 win. Potts returned to the hill on Sunday and went the distance in a 2-1 victory over Eastern Mennonite. He gave up one run on three hits over nine frames. He walked one and struck out eight. After giving up a fourth inning single, Potts did not allow another EMU baserunner until the leadoff batter in ninth inning reached via error. That broke string of 14 batters retired in a row. For the season, Potts is now 5-0 over 10 appearances including four starts. He owns a 2.94 ERA and has struck out 52 batters over 49.0 innings of work.
