University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa<\/span><\/a> junior right-hander Isaiah Magdaleno has been named Big West Pitcher of the Week for the third consecutive week.<\/p>\n

Magdaleno captured the conference honor after delivering his second complete-game, one-hit shutout in his last three starts, propelling the Rainbow Warriors to a 4-0 victory over CSUN<\/abbr> on May 13 at Les Murakami Stadium. The Los Angeles native overpowered the Matadors, striking out 14 batters without issuing a single walk to secure his seventh win of the season.<\/p>\n

In his last three outings, Magdaleno owns a 0.35 ERA<\/abbr> with 39 strikeouts to just two walks over 26.0 innings, giving up a run on six hits. He is the first pitcher in program history to throw multiple one-hit shutouts in a single season and the first pitcher nationally since 2017 to have at least two nine-inning, one-hit shutouts in a year.<\/p>\n

This latest accolade highlights one of the most dominant three-game pitching stretches in program history. Magdaleno began this recent streak on May 1 with a historic 16-strikeout, one-hit complete-game shutout against UC<\/abbr> Riverside. He followed that up on May 8 by holding UC<\/abbr> Davis to just one run on four hits while striking out nine over eight innings.<\/p>\n

Magdaleno is the first Big West pitcher since 2018 to earn the weekly honor three weeks in a row. It\u2019s also the fourth time overall this year that he has been named conference pitcher of the week, the first to accomplish that since 2019.<\/p>\n

Magdaleno and the Rainbow Warriors will head into the Big West postseason as the No<\/abbr>. 4-seed in the tournament. UH<\/abbr> Mānoa<\/span> will play in a single-elimination game May 20, at 3 p.m. HST<\/abbr> in Irvine, California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
