VALDOSTA, Ga. – The Valdosta State baseball team has the honor of highlighting junior pitcher Kevin Tomas as this week's Gulf South Conference pitcher of the week, announced by the league office Tuesday.
 
Tomas pitched a complete game in the Blazers' 2-0 victory over Christian Brothers in the series finale Sunday.  Tomas tossed the second shutout of the season for VSU, allowing six hits, walked one and fanned a season-high eight Bucs.  The outing marked a career-high in innings pitched and in strikeouts as he improved to 2-0 on the year in seven starts.
 
On the season, Tomas has thrown 34.2 innings and tallied 19 strikeouts while giving up 29 hits, nine runs, eight free passes, and five hits-basemen. Currently, Tomas has a 2.34 ERA and has recorded two wins including the win over Christian Brothers and against Montevallo on March 5, 2022.
