Junior pitcher Brannon Westmoreland was named Co-Pitcher of the Week by the Ohio Valley Conference on Monday, marking the first weekly conference award earned by the Trojans during the 2026 season.
"We're very proud of Brannon for winning this award. He's been consistent and dominant, and his hard work is paying off," head coach Chris Curry said. "It's good to see him receive some recognition."
Last week, the right-hander from Haskell, Oklahoma, led the Trojans to a win over the Central Arkansas Bears, throwing six shutout innings with eight strikeouts.
This season, Westmoreland owns a 2–0 record with a 1.52 ERA. He has thrown 23.2 innings, allowing just 13 hits and four earned runs. He leads the OVC with 26 strikeouts and ranks 43rd nationally in WHIP at .080.
All four of his starts have lasted at least 5.2 innings, and he has recorded six or more strikeouts in three outings. He threw 103 pitches against Central Arkansas in the back half of a doubleheader.
Opposing hitters are batting just .155 against Westmoreland this season in 91 at-bats.
