Former Twisters honored

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Former Twisters San Diego State senior Garett Green has been named Mountain West Conference Co-Player of the Week while Aztec right-hander Stephen Strasburg earned MWC Pitcher of the Week accolades. The Aztec second baseman shared the award with Brian Cavazos-Galvez of New Mexico.
Green, from Anaheim Hills, Calif., batted .500 (10-for-20) from the plate, with one home run, one double, five runs scored and four RBI, as the Aztecs went 5-0 in non-conference action last week, including a three-game sweep of Houston. In SDSU's 6-3 win over then-No. 23 UCLA, Green had an RBI single and hit his fourth homer of the season to give the Aztecs the lead for good in the seventh inning as part of a 2-for-4 outing at the plate. Against Harvard, he went 2-for-4 while also scoring a run in a 4-0 Aztec win.
In the series opener vs. the Cougars, Green went 2-for-3 with a double and two runs scored. In game two, he singled in the tying run in the bottom of the ninth, then scored the winning run in the 7-6 SDSU win. In the series finale, he went 2-for-4, including an RBI single that capped a four-run fifth inning, giving SDSU the lead for good in a 9-6 victory. Defensively, Green had 11 putouts, 10 assists and one error.
Strasburg, a San Diego, Calif., native, allowed just two hits, walking one batter and striking out 12 in his 8.0 innings on the mound to record a shutout victory in the first game of a three-game series vs. Houston. The sophomore righty held the Cougars, who entered the week receiving votes in the national polls, to a .080 team batting average (2-for-25) for the game. The Cougars came into the contest with .318 team average.
Strasburg retired 12 of the first 14 batters that came to the plate, and faced the minimum nine batters over his final three innings of work. After allowing the leadoff batter to reach base in the fifth and sixth innings, he pitched out of both jams to maintain the shutout. In his final inning on the mound, he struck out the side.
