Sam Fairhurst pitched a gem in his one start of the week, pitching a career-high 8.1 innings while striking out 17 batters in a 9-0 win against Wilkes. His 17 punch-outs set a new Landmark Conference record for strikeouts in a conference game, passing the previous mark set in 2011 by Moravian's Brendan Close against Scranton. His strikeout total was also the highest out of any pitcher in a game in DIII this season. His 17 strikeouts are also the most by a Catholic pitcher in any game since the program has been in the Landmark.
