Senior right-hander Carlos Martinez was recognized as a co-winner of the Colonial Athletic Association’s Pitcher of the Week award after a dominant outing that left the Stony Brook offense silent.
In his latest start, Martinez tossed eight and one‑third innings without allowing a run, surrendering just six hits while striking out seven batters. He did not permit any runner to advance past second base, underscoring his command.
The performance was pivotal in Hofstra’s 4‑0 win, a result that cemented the Pride’s fifth‑seed positioning for the upcoming CAA Championship.
Martinez’s outing also marked his seventh straight game with at least seven strikeouts and his second consecutive start extending into the ninth inning, highlighting his durability.
Championship Outlook
The right-hander will now turn his attention to the opening round of the tournament, where Hofstra is slated to meet fourth‑seeded Charleston. Facing a Charleston team that finished the regular season strong, the Pride will rely on Martinez’s recent form and the depth of their pitching staff to advance.
