DETROIT -- Gabe Nazelli (Farmington Hills, Mich. / Detroit Country Day) of the Wayne State University baseball team was named GLIAC Pitcher of the Week for the first time in his career on Monday, as announced by the league.

The honor comes after Nazelli threw the first complete-game shutout of his career on Friday, a 3-0 win at ninth-ranked Grand Valley State in seven innings.  He improved to 5-2 on the season and held one of the best offenses in the region scoreless for just the third time in 39 games. Nazelli allowed seven hits with one free pass on an economic 78 pitches while facing 27 batters. With the triumph, WSU snapped GVSU's eight-game winning streak and handed the Lakers' just their second home defeat of the season (12-2).

Nazelli has pitched more innings than any other Warrior with 44 and a 3.68 ERA to show for it.  The 6-3 hurler has struck out 29 batters with a .259 batting average against while his five pitching victories are tied-for-fourth in the league.  In his two campaigns prior to this one, Nazelli had pitched in a combined 7.1 frames with an 8.59 ERA.

Nazelli and his teammates will play their final non-conference game of the regular season on Tuesday, a 3 p.m. first pitch at Findlay.  The Oilers defeated the Warriors 4-3 on April 1 in Detroit before WSU avenged the loss, 21-6 at UF one week later.
