Aurora University Athletics

Aurora University senior pitcher Kyule Blunt was named the NACC Baseball Student-Athlete of the Week, earning pitcher of the week honors, as selected by the league's sports information directors.

Blunt earned the honors after he registered a pair of victories on the mound as the Spartans got off to a strong start to the 2020 season. In his first start, a 7-1 win over Spalding University on February 22, he pitched seven solid innings, giving up just one run on four hits while striking out seven. Blunt added five strikeouts over six innings as AU opened its spring trip with a 12-2 win over Illinois College on March 1.
