Fordham pitcher Matt Mikulski has been named this week’s Atlantic 10 Conference Pitcher of the Week, the conference announced on Monday. Not only is this Mikulski’s first individual weekly award of the young season, but this is also the fourth consecutive week that this specific honor has gone to a Fordham pitcher, with the last three being one won by John Stankiewicz (two times) and Cory Wall.
