WACO, Texas – The Louisiana Christian University baseball program is one of the hottest teams in the NAIA right now and staff ace Cy Fontenot has been at the forefront of a resurgent pitching staff, grounding both the Dillard Bleu Devils and tenth-ranked Houston-Victoria Jaguars over the past week in order to secure his second career Red River Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week award.
 
Fontenot, a graduate student right-hander from Alexandria, Louisiana, won the epic battle between the two pitchers in the weekend series opener (his opposite number was 6-0 entering the day), going the scoreless and walkless distance for his fifth career complete game and first ever shutout, going one batter over the minimum.
 
The local kid induced 14 groundouts (66.7% of all outs recorded) in addition to striking out a pair of Jaguars, limiting #10 UHV to just three hits and zero walks who were averaging just under nine runs per game coming in (8.9).
 
On top of his inning of work in the win vs. Dillard, he tossed eight scoreless innings without a single walk and despite only striking out three batters, the former Southeastern Louisiana and New Orleans transfer produced a minuscule 0.63 WHIP.
 
The six-foot hurler sports the second-best ERA on the team at 3.78, on top of leading the Wildcats in both innings pitched (47.2) as well as strikeouts (46).
 
The boys of spring look to continue their meteoric pace as they search for their 12th, 13th, and 14th wins in-a-row in San Antonio on Friday / Saturday during a three-game set at Our Lady of the Lake.
