MORGANTOWN, W.Va.--- The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) has named Cal State Fullerton southpaw John Gavin (San Jose, Calif./St. Francis HS) the National Pitcher of the Week, the organization announced on Tuesday.

The San Jose, Calif. native scattered just two hits and walked zero over a career-high eight scoreless innings against New Mexico on Sunday to earn the national honor.

Gavin struck out a career-high 14 batters to earn the victory in a 1-0 pitcher's duel.  He tallied the most strikeouts by a Titan since Thomas Eshelman also fanned 14 against Arizona State on May 30, 2015. He retired 16 straight Lobos to end his day, helping the Titans to stretch their winning streak to seven straight.

Gavin was also named the Big West Pitcher of the Week on Monday.
