CLINTON, S.C. – Presbyterian College sophomore Mikey Marroquin Jr. has been named Big South Relief Pitcher of the Week in honors announced Monday (April 13) by the conference. 

Marroquin was dominant out of the bullpen in Presbyterian's 5-2 conference victory over first-place Winthrop on Saturday in Clinton. He tossed the final 2.1 innings against the Eagles, retiring seven of the eight batters he faced. He did not allow a hit and struck out two, handing Winthrop its first conference loss of the season. Marroquin's performance earned him the save, the first of his collegiate career.

Marroquin has been outstanding as of late for the Blue Hose in relief. He has surrendered just two runs in his last nine innings pitched (five appearances), allowing just three hits. He has tallied 10 punchouts as well.

This is the fifth weekly Big South honor for Presbyterian this season. Marroquin is the ninth player in program history to be named Big South Relief Pitcher of the Week.
