KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For the second time this season, Missouri Western baseball’s Anthony Castaneda was named MIAA Pitcher of the Week.

The senior shared the honor this week with Lindenwood’s Blake Beckmann. Castaneda matched his Missouri Western career-high and a Missouri Western single game record with 14 strikeouts in MWSU’s game two, 5-2 win at Lindenwood. It was the first time in nearly two months a team had scratched out more than a run on the senior from Woodlands, California, but Lindenwood didn’t do much else. He held the home team to seven hits across nine complete innings with just two walks to move to 6-0 on the season.

The senior leads the MIAA with six wins, 70 strikeouts and three complete games. His 1.56 ERA ranks second in the MIAA and opponents’ .202 batting average against him is the seventh-best in the MIAA.
