Wright State’s Sexton wins Horizon League award

Wright State junior left-hander Danny Sexton has been named the Horizon League Pitcher of the Week following his performance Friday against Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Sexton threw eight shutout innings to help the Raiders win the opener of a three-game series against the Panthers 5-3. Sexton allowed three hits while striking out four and walking one.

Wright State (15-7 overall, 6-0 HL) went on to sweep UWM to secure its hold on first place.

Sexton improved to 5-0 with an 0.66 ERA. He has 27 strikeouts with eight walks in 40.2 innings while holding opponents to a .179 batting average.

This is his second HL Pitcher of the Week honor, as the Raiders have claimed four of the six awards this season with Zane Collins also winning it twice.

WSU returns to the field Friday in Oakland for the first of a three-game series against the Grizzlies.
