Sisson Named SoCon Pitcher of the Week After Tossing No-Hitter

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Davidson left-handed pitcher Henry Sisson was named the Southern Conference Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced Monday, after the freshman threw the league's first complete game no-hitter in 10 years Friday.
Sisson threw the sixth no-hitter in Davidson history Friday night and the first since 2001 as the Wildcats shut out Wofford, 1-0. Sisson out-dueled last week's SoCon Pitcher of the Week, Brandon Yarusi.
The milestone came in just Sisson's fifth career start as he upped his record to 2-1. The Chevy Chase, Md. native and St. Albans School graduate allowed four base runners on three walks and an error and matched his career high of nine strikeouts.
The no-hitter was the first in the SoCon since College of Charleston combined to blank Western Carolina in 2004, and it was the first complete game no-hitter by a starter since The Citadel's T.A. Fulmer shut down East Tennessee State in 2002.
Sisson is the first Wildcat to receive conference pitcher of the week honors since Chris Lamb did so in March 2011 after throwing a complete game shutout against Furman. Sisson coincidentally now wears Lamb's former No. 16 as Lamb, who is also left-handed, elected to forego his senior season and pitch in the Oakland A's organization this year.
Davidson next plays at Duke Tuesday at 6p.m.
