Gonzalez Named College Sports Madness Player of the Week

Box Score

Tulsa, Okla. - Oral Roberts' Alex Gonzalez was named College Sports Madness Summit Baseball Player of the Week for his exceptional performance during last week's action.

Gonzalez captures his fifth career shutout and first this season after collecting the victory against No.13 Cal State Fullerton. The sophomore went 7.2 innings with six strikeouts and only one walk. He surrendered five hits, all singles, and no runs in the 3-0 win. It was ORU's first victory over a ranked opponent since last season's win over No. 10 TCU in the NCAA Regionals.

Gonzalez improved his overall record to 2-1 with a 1.40 ERA and 16 strikeouts in 25.2 innings of work. Gonzalez suffered a back injury in late February causing him to miss several starts, but has since bounced back with quality starts his last two outings.

College Sports Madness identifies the highest impact players nationally and from each conference in a weekly feature on CollegeSportsMadness.com. Gonzalez joined teammate Jared Schlehuber as the only two Golden Eagles so far this season to receive the award.
