Kaiser grad Chris Mathewson earns Big West honor

He leads the Big West with a 1.28 ERA.

Kaiser High School graduate Chris Mathewson of Long Beach State has been named Big West Pitcher of the Week for a third time this season.

Mathewson hurled eight shutout innings in a win over UC Riverside, striking out a season-high 10 without a walk.

Mathewson is just the seventh pitcher at Long Beach State to earn three Big West Pitcher of the Week awards in his career.

He is just the fifth pitcher to claim three weekly awards in one season, joining Marcus Jones (1996), Cesar Ramos (2005), Andrew Carpenter (2006) and Jared Weaver (2003, 2004). No freshman at Long Beach State has won the award three times in the same year.

On the season he is 5-3 with a 1.28 ERA.
