Centralia College pitcher Ryan Henrickson of Anchorage earned our Alaska Athlete of the Week honors after turning in a 121-pitch, 10-inning complete game 1-0 road win over Pierce College in Puyallup, Washington.
The sophomore southpaw out of Dimond High scattered seven hits and a walk while striking out six. He worked three 1-2-3 innings in the fourth, fifth and eighth, and ended the game with a runner in scoring position.
“This was definitely one of the best outings of my life hands down,” he said.
This was just his third start of the season as he’s been promoted from reliever. Henrickson (1-0) has struck out 25 batters over 28.1 innings and ranks fifth in the NWAC with a 0.95 ERA.
The Alaska Athlete of the Week is selected by a panel each Monday.
