DALLAS - Fort Hays State's Ty Riley has earned the latest NCBWA Central Region Pitcher of the Week award, announced Tuesday by the writer's association.

Riley tossed his fourth complete game of the season Friday night against Northwest Missouri State, fanning 11 Bearcats while holding the visitors to just one run over nine innings of work. The Bentonville, Ark. native collected his ninth victory in the process, the most in the MIAA this season.

The righty scattered six hits and three walks across the contest, limiting NWMSU hitters to a batting average of .176. He lowered his ERA to 2.69 in the process, second best in the MIAA. Riley took the lead in the league with 106 strikeouts this season, setting a new school record in the process.

Riley has 46 strikeouts over his last four outings, averaging 12.9 strikeouts per nine innings over that span.

Isaac Pegors of UMary was named the regional hitter of the week after hitting four home runs and driving in 10 RBI last week.

This week's National Pitcher of the Week will be announced on Thursday. 

The 19th-ranked Tigers will wrap up the regular season later this week (May 1-3) at Rogers State before heading to Joplin, Mo. for the 2025 MIAA Championship Tournament May 7-10.
