CHARLESTON, S.C. - Following eight shutout frames on Wednesday night, RiverDogs southpaw Josh Maciejewski has been recognized as the South Atlantic League's Pitcher of the Week as announced by the league office on Monday.
Following a two-game stint with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre, Maciejewski (pronounced "mah-chee-ESS-skee") returned to the RiverDogs this week to turn in a career-best outing, fanning seven over eight innings on Wednesday night against West Virginia. He scattered just two hits and issued one walk on a night in which Charleston soared through a 1-0 win in just an hour and 59 minutes, the shortest nine-inning game played at Riley Park since the 2006 season.
The start marked the UNC-Charlotte product's longest outing of his career and he tied a career-best with seven punchouts on the night. It was the first time a RiverDog pitcher threw up eight zeroes in a game since Nick Green on May 6, 2017 against Delmarva. The North Carolina native has now turned in a quality start in all three appearances as a RiverDog.
Maciejewski is the third RiverDogs pitcher recognized with the league's weekly accolades and the second in a row after Luis Medina garnered the award last week. Luis Gil was recognized for the week of June 10-16 while outfielder Josh Stowers was the SAL's Player of the Week for May 20-26.
