Plein, a senior from El Cajon, Calif., appeared in three games this past week, earning a win and a save in nine innings pitched.  He opened the week with a scoreless inning with a strike out to save a 5-2 win over N.C. Wesleyan.  After pitching an inning of relief in a 5-4 loss to Averett, Plein was nearly perfect in defeating Maine-Presque Isle, 12-0.  He went the distance in the first game of a pair of seven-inning contests (doubleheader), giving up just one hit without a walk and striking out three batters.  The shutout is the first of his collegiate career and improves his season record to 2-0 with a save in 11.2 innings of work.
