Dominant pitching has fueled the surge, highlighted by senior transfer Brayden McCollough, who earned both RMAC and NCBWA South Central Region Pitcher of the Week honors after carrying a perfect game into the sixth inning and striking out 11 batters. The Roadrunners face a challenging four-game weekend to continue their unbeaten run.
