SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Steven Carter’s (Brunswick, Maine) stellar pitching performance this week has been recognized by the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) as Carter was named CCC Pitcher of the Week, announced Tuesday by Commission Gregg M. Kaye. Carter helped the Gulls to a 3-3 week, including three wins in the conference as they opened up CCC play.

Carter, a sophomore right-handed pitcher, appeared in two games this week for Endicott and posted a .000 ERA after not allowing an earned run over nine innings. He recorded eight strike-outs and allowed just six hits on the week.

In his first conference start of the year, Carter went the distance and pitched Endicott to a 7-0 victory at Nichols on Saturday, completing the double-header sweep. He struck out six and held the Bison to just three hits as he picked up the sixth complete game of the year for the Gulls.

In Endicott’s home-opener against regional power Wheaton College earlier in the week, Carter pitched two innings and allowed just an unearned run while striking out two batters. The Gulls would eventually fall to Wheaton 8-7 in what would be a 14-inning marathon game.
Carter has appeared in three games for Endicott this year and has a 1-1 record with a 4.26 ERA. The sophomore hurler has struck out 11 batters in 12.2 innings of work.

This is the second consecutive week that Endicott has had a player named to the CCC Weekly Baseball Awards list. Last week center fielder Tad Gold (Martha’s Vineyard, Mass.) was named CCC Offensive Player of the Week.

The Gulls will be on the road for their next three games, starting this afternoon with a 3:30 pm game against Worcester State. Endicott will then travel to two important CCC doubleheaders, this Saturday at Eastern Nazarene and Sunday against Western New England in Springfield.
