MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis right-handed pitcher Colton Hathcock was named to the American Athletic Conference Weekly Honor Roll after recording three saves in four games played last week.

Hathcock shut down the eighth-ranked Ole Miss Rebels for his first save of the week, striking out two batters in a perfect ninth inning.

He then came back on Friday night to close a 5-2 series-opening win over Georgia Southern.

In the final game of the series he was brought into a high-pressure situation in the eighth inning with runners in scoring position and two outs. He got a strikeout to end the inning and keep the one-run lead intact before working a scoreless ninth inning to seal the win.

Hathcock finished the week with six strikeouts, just two hits allowed and no walks. He has five saves so far this season.

Memphis will host Middle Tennessee for a midweek series starting Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. and wrapping up with a second game Wednesday at 4 p.m. at FedExPark.
