AMERICUS, Ga. — Georgia Southwestern senior right-hander Evan Koehler has been named the Peach Belt Conference Baseball Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced Monday, marking his second consecutive weekly honor and third of the season.

Koehler delivered another outstanding outing in the series opener at USC Aiken, working eight innings while striking out 10 batters and issuing no walks. The Orange City, Fla., native allowed just one run on the night, earning a no-decision despite a commanding performance.

Facing one of the conference's most potent lineups, Koehler held the Pacers—the second-best hitting team in the Peach Belt Conference—to a .172 batting average. He retired the side in order four times, including each of his final two innings of work to finish his outing in dominant fashion.

Koehler's continued excellence has placed him among the top pitchers in Division II this season. He currently leads NCAA Division II in strikeouts (73) while pacing the Peach Belt Conference in innings pitched (51.2), total strikeouts (73), strikeouts looking (23) and wins (5).

He also ranks second in the conference in earned run average (1.74) and opposing batting average (.179), while sitting third in fewest runs allowed (12).
