LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - Slippery Rock University baseball standout Andy McClymonds was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western Division Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced Monday.
 
McClymonds earns his first PSAC West Pitcher of the Week award for his performance in The Rock's 6-2 victory over West Virginia State last week.

A native of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania and a graduate of Blackhawk High School, McClymonds has appeared in 10 games over his brief Rock career, going 3-3 with a 5.46 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 29.2 innings pitched.
