Houston Baseball Poised To Challenge In C-USA

March 23, 2009

HOUSTON - University of Houston junior pitcher Donnie Joseph was named the Conference USA Pitcher of the Week after guiding the Cougars to two wins over No. 29 Lamar and UAB last week.

With the two wins, Houston finished 3-2 last week and are 6-16 overall and 2-1 in C-USA.

The Pitcher of the Week award is the first career weekly honor for the Buda, Texas native.

Joseph opened the week for the Cougars with a 4-2 win over the Cardinals in Beaumont. He set career-highs with his seven strikeouts in 6.1 innings. Joseph also held Lamar to just two hits, which didn't come until the sixth inning.

In the second game of the series against UAB, Joseph came in relief and pitched 3.0 innigs, holding the Blazers to three hits with six strikeouts to earn the win and give Houston the series win.

On the weekend, Joseph pitched a combined 9.1 innings, giving up just five hits and three runs, while striking out 14 batters.

Joseph and the Cougars will be back in action Tuesday against Louisiana Lafayette. The game is slated to start at 6:30 p.m. at Cougar Field. Following the mid-week game, Houston will travel to Tulane for a three-game series this weekend.
