CALDWELL, N.J. - Caldwell College sophomore right-hander Tommy Murphy (Monroe, NY/Washingtonville) was named the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Pitcher of the Week for the week ending Apr. 16, the conference announced today. It is the second time in his career and the first time this season that Murphy has received the CACC's weekly award for pitchers.

Murphy hurled a two-hit shutout in the first game of a doubleheader at Nyack College on Apr. 12 to propel the Cougars to a 9-0 victory. He set a career high with 13 strikeouts in the game while allowing just two walks. Murphy also had a strong week at the plate, batting .316 with four runs and three RBIs to help Caldwell go 4-1.

Last season as a freshman, Murphy tossed a one-hitter in his first collegiate start to earn CACC Pitcher of the Week honors on Mar. 22, 2005.

Murphy and the Cougars host Felician College in a CACC doubleheader beginning at 3:30 p.m. at Smith Field.
