ANNAPOLIS, Md. – After an impressive weekend on the mound, Navy freshman left-hander Spencer Stephens was named the Patriot League Baseball Rookie of the Week on Monday afternoon.
 
Posting seven strikeouts while allowing just two hits and no walks, Stephens pitched four scoreless innings over two relief appearances and picked up his first collegiate win.
 
After striking out three in 1.2 no-hit innings on Friday, Stephens came back in Sunday's series finale to close out Navy's win, posting four strikeouts while allowing two hits over 2.1 frames to register the winning decision.
 
Through six appearances this season, including one start, Stephens has maintained a 4.15 ERA across 13 innings, notching 16 strikeouts and a save as well.
 
Stephens is the second Navy player this season to earn Patriot League Rookie of the Week, joining Ty DePerno's honor two weeks ago.
 
Up next, Navy hits the road for a Wednesday midweek game at Fordham before returning home for this weekend's Star Series against rival Army.
