The Aurora University Spartan baseball team had a player named the Northern Athletics Conference Baseball, Pitching Student-Athlete of the Week for the fourth time this year. Junior pitcher Steve Salazar (Carol Stream, IL/Glenbard West H.S.) was named the NAC Pitcher of the Week, his second time being honored this season. On the week in which the Spartans went 3-1, Salazar (Carol Stream, IL/Glenbard West H.S.) emulated a feat achieved by AU pitching coach Alex Chapple less than four years ago, throwing a no-hitter against Benedictine University. In his stellar performance against Benedictine, an AU 14-0 victory in seven innings, Salazar struck out nine and allowed just two base runners, both which reached via base on balls. On the season, Salazar is 4-2 with a 2.09 era, 51 strikeouts and only 32 hits allowed in 43 innings. The Spartan baseball team (19-7 overall; 8-3 NAC) travel to Northern Athletics Conference foe Edgewood College on Wednesday, April 22, 2009. Game time is set for 2:00 p.m. in Verona, WI. -END-
