Hyde Wins LSC Honor

February 25, 2009

RICHARDSON, Texas  - Southwestern Oklahoma State University's Kevin Hyde was recognized by the Lone Star Conference as the baseball pitcher-of-the-week. Hyde, and his Bulldog teammates, went 5-0 during the reporting period, which included a four-game sweep of defending LSC Tournament Champion Texas A&M-Kingsville.

Hyde, a junior from Westmoore High School, was credited with the win in game two by pitching two scoreless innings in relief as SWOSU rallied for a 12-9 victory over TAMUK. He then started game three and pitched four innings, allowing just three runs, none of which were earned.

Hyde, who played last season at Rose State, is among two Bulldog pitchers who are 2-1 on the year. He has pitched 12-plus innings and carries a 3.55 ERA. He has struck out 15 batters and walked just seven on the year.

SWOSU will take its 9-6 record on the road beginning Friday to play West Texas A&M in a four-game series in Amarillo, Texas.
