North Park baseball player Nick Soldano earned College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Pitcher of the Week honors Tuesday.

Soldano, a junior from Lake Zurich, Ill., and Zion-Benton High School (Business & Economics major), improved to 7-1 on the season during a complete-game 8-0 victory over Elmhurst on April 29. He struck out 10 and walked only two batters against the Bluejays. He also pitched three innings of relief in a 5-4 loss to the University of Chicago on April 25. He struck out four batters and gave up only two hits and no runs.

North Park (26-11, 11-7) returns to action this weekend when it closes out the regular season with a three-game set against North Central College, beginning with a doubleheader at home Saturday at 1 p.m.
