Massachusetts Maritime sophomore Kevin Kwedor added another award to his already impressive collection today, as the Buccaneer lefthander was named as the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Division III National Pitcher of the Week after throwing the 25^th perfect game in Division III history in a 4-0 Patriots Day victory over MCLA.

A native of Marshfield, Mass. and a graduate of Marshfield High School, Kwedor swept the conference, regional and national accolades after a performance that saw him retire all 21 batters faced, including six by strikeout. 

Earlier this week, he was named as both the MASCAC and ECAC New England Pitcher of the Week after throwing 60 of his 89 pitches for strikes in the gem, which was the first perfect game in the 42-year history of Massachusetts Maritime’s program.  Kevin was also the lone New England representative on this week’s D3baseball.com National Team of the Week.

Wisconsin-LaCrosse senior Jordan Greenland was tabbed as the NCBWA Division III National Player of the Week after batting .500 (16-32) with three doubles, four homers and 21 RBI.  Kwedor becomes the second MASCAC hurler to earn National Pitcher of the Week accolades this season in joining Bridgewater State’s Andy Sadoski, who copped the honor back on March 9^th.

Kwedor collected a pair of wins and posted a 2.73 earned run average in eight appearances on the season, as his perfect game came in just his fourth collegiate start.  Head Coach Bob Corradi’s Buccaneers ended the season with 15 overall victories, their highest single season win mark in six years.
