Canyons hurler Ricky Sturm earned California Community College Baseball Coaches Association (CCCBCA) SoCal Player of the Week honors for Week No. 13 (Apr. 13-19), announced Wednesday.
Sturm led the Cougars to back-to-back wins over LA Mission last week on the mound, earning a save and a win. He recorded the final out in the team's 12-8 win, earning his fifth save of the year, before making a return appearance two days later, tossing a complete-game gem to lead Canyons to a 13-1 win.
