POMONA, Calif. – Western Oregon University baseball student-athletes, Eric Huson and Parker Miles, were named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers' Association NCAA Div. II West Region Pitcher and Player of the Week Wednesday.

Huson tossed a two-hit shutout in the Wolves' 5-0 win over Saint Martin's on Sunday, striking out five batters and walking none in the 9-inning stellar performance. Huson improved to 4-0 on the season and the shutout was the first of the season in the GNAC. Among qualifying starters, he has the lowest ERA at 1.00 and the lowest opponent batting average at .171. The junior has struck out 26 batters over his 45.0 innings, and only eight of the 27 hits he has allowed have been for extra bases (all doubles). Huson's 0.82 WHIP is also tops in the GNAC among qualifying starters and he is one of just two starters to have a sub-1.00 mark in that category (Noah Starr, NNU, 0.91).

Miles hit 8-for-16 with four doubles, three runs scored and a pair of RBI as the Wolves took a four-game series from Saint Martin's 3-1. Miles logged a dozen total bases and drew a pair of walks, leading to an on-base percentage of .556. The second baseman also stole a pair of bases and struck out just once in 18 plate appearances, while handling all 12 of his fielding chances perfectly. On the season, Miles has committed just one error in 74 chances for a fielding percentage of .986.

The Wolves (19-11, 12-4 Great Northwest Athletic Conference) remained No. 8 in the NCBWA region poll. Western Oregon has a break until April 5, when it opens the second half of GNAC play at Central Washington. The Wolves took three of four against CWU (12-11, 5-7 GNAC) earlier this season in Monmouth. The Wildcats host Saint Martin's in four games this weekend.
