NOTES FROM THE MOUND
A trio of Huskies teamed up to get SCSU's first win of the season, a 5-3 victory over Missouri Western on Feb. 15. Sophomore A.J. Price (Neenah,Wis.) earned his first collegiate win in his 19th appearance and third career start, pitching 5.0 innings with one earned run and three strikeouts. His five-inning outing is a career long, surpassing a four-inning start against Concordia-St. Paul on April 9, 2025. Freshman Brayden Simones (Sartell, Minn.) made his collegiate debut and earned the save with four strikeouts over 1.2 innings.
Senior Kahler Key (Onalaska, Wis.) came on in relief and pitched effectively over five innings while earning his first collegiate career win in an 8-7 win over Wayne State (Feb.), allowing three runs, two earned on eight hits and one walk with nine strikeouts. Key then made his second career start and first start this season against Northern State (Feb. 26) and went a career-long six innings while only allowing one run on three hits with four strikeouts to earn his second consecutive win. Key leads the Huskies in ERA at 2.91 with a 27:14 strikeout to walk ratio.
Redshirt junior Hayden Frank (St. Michael, Minn.) had his best start to-date as a Husky in a 3-0 win over Northern State (Feb. 28), pitching six scoreless innings while only allowing three hits with two strikeouts.
Senior Bryce Brassfield (Gilbert, Ariz.) was dominant in a 9-3 win over Saginaw Valley State on March 4, throwing eight innings while scattering three runs on five hits with nine strikeouts. He matched his career-long outing while setting a new career-high in strikeouts. In five starts this season, Brassfield is 2-2 with a 4.40 ERA and a 33:7 strikeout to walk ratio.
