ROCKFORD, Ill. -- The Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference announced Tuesday morning that Rockford University junior Zach Fabis has been named NACC Baseball Pitcher of the Week. This is Fabis' first NACC weekly award and the program's second consecutive NACC weekly honor. 

Fabis went the distance in all nine innings striking out 10 batters and allowing no runs. Fabis threw the first complete game shutout since March 26, 2017 (David Camacho vs. #16 Augustana). He gave up just four hits and struck out ten Sabres, the first complete game shutout with ten or more strikeouts since April 21, 2012 (Jake Nicholson vs. Lakeland). The win makes Fabis 4-0 on the season.

The RU baseball team will be back in action at home on Wednesday, March 25, vs. Illinois Institute of Technology in a NACC doubleheader with the first pitch set for noon CDT.
