REBELS NAB TWO MOUNTAIN WEST WEEKLY AWARDS
@UNLVBaseball | Schedule | MW Release
The UNLV Rebels landed two to the Mountain West’s weekly awards with Conner Woods named Pitcher of the Week and Santino Panaro named Freshman of the Week, for their efforts in the team’s 3-2 showing last week. This is the first weekly accolade for both Woods and Panaro, though it is the third consecutive week the Rebels have had a student-athlete earn the honors.
Woods picked up his first win of the season in Saturday’s 4-3 victory over SDSU. The right-hander senior from Tempe, Arizona, pitched four shutout innings in relief, striking out four. Woods has made two appearances this season and posted a 0.00 ERA.
In Tuesday’s midweek affair with Utah Valley, Panaro had a season high two RBI for the Rebels. The Bishop Gorman graduate went 1-for-1 at the plate during Saturday’s contest against the Aztecs, scoring one run to help UNLV sweep SDSU at San Diego for the first time since May 2007. The true freshman started in his first game for the Scarlet & Gray during Sunday’s series finale, scoring one run and ending the week batting a .333.
UP NEXT: Woods, Panaro and the Rebels return to Las Vegas and Earl E. Wilson Stadium for a three-game conference series against Air Force beginning Friday, first pitch is slated for 6:05 p.m.
