GVL Staff

This Monday, Grand Valley State University baseball pitcher Kyle Schepel was named the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference’s “Pitcher of the Week.” During game one of the Lakers’ double-header against Ashland University last week, Schepel, a senior, threw six shutout innings and allowed only three hits. The victory gave Schepel 27 career victories, a GVSU record. He currently leads the GLIAC in strikeouts (39), wins (5), strikeouts looking (17) and is second in innings pitched (35.2) and eighth in the ERA (1.77). Schepel’s career record stands now at 27-4 with a 3.24 ERA during his 46 appearances. This season, he is 5-1. Schepel will join the Lakers on Friday and Saturday as they travel to Saginaw State University, where they will participate in a pair of double-headers.
