Pitcher of the Week
David Festa, Seton Hall, Jr., RHP (Monroe, N.J.)
Seton Hall junior righty tossed a one-hit complete game shutout in Seton Hall’s seven-inning 15-0 victory over Creighton in game one of a doubleheader on Saturday. Festa registered a season-best eight strikeouts, one shy of matching his career high, against the second-best hitting team in the BIG EAST. Festa’s stat line included just two walks. The lone hit of the game was in the top of the fifth. He retied 12 of the first 13 batters he faced. The one Bluejay that reached on a walk was erased on a pick off at first base in the top of the second.
