RICHMOND, Va. – A day after he was honored as one of Collegiate Baseball's National Players of the Week, Elon University right-handed pitcher
Robbie Welhaf has been named the Colonial Athletic Association's Pitcher of the Week. He was also selected as the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association National Pitcher of the Week.
Welhaf needed just 100 pitches to throw the first no-hitter of the 2017 NCAA Division I baseball season in Saturday's 7-0 victory over the Longwood Lancers. It was the first no-hit performance by an Elon pitcher at the Division I level. In just his third career start, Welhaf faced just one batter over the minimum and retired 16 consecutive Longwood hitters at one point in the nine-inning outing. The Doylestown, Pa., native struck out a career-high eight hitters and walked just one batter.
