Ryan Jones Gets Region IX Pitcher of the Week

Sterling, Colo...

Northeastern's 6' freshman Ryan Jones got the Region IX Pitcher of the Week nod as he had a solid week of the season from the mound.  Jones comes to NJC from Pawhuska, Oklahoma and pitches for the Plainsmen.  During the past week of the 2022 regular season for the Plainsmen, they played four conference games at Luna Community College in New Mexico.  This is the first Plainsmen pitcher to receive the Region IX Pitcher of the Week award this season.

During the Luna series, Jones pitched in the 4th game and solidified his 2nd season win.  In that game, Ryan faced 18 batters, pitched 5 shutout innings and only gave up 3 hits.  He also struck out 6 batters and had no walks or earned runs.  Overall this season, Jones has a 4.19 ERA, 19.1 innings pitched and 17 strikeouts.  He is 2-2 on the season recording 9 earned runs and only has 2 wild pitches.

Northeastern needs players like Ryan to continue the big play as the season progresses to give the team a threat in the pitching lineup in which other teams will have to be aware of.

Congrats to NJC pitcher Ryan Jones on being named Pitcher of the Week for Region IX!  Keep up the great work!

The Plainsmen next take on Southeast Community College in Nebraska on Saturday and Sunday this coming weekend.
