The Northwest Conference has announced Linfield baseball's Jake Swenson as this week's NWC Student-Athlete Pitcher of the Week in a release on Monday afternoon. This marks Swenson's third such award this season.
 
The sophomore from Camas, Washington turned heads this weekend when he pitched a full game against Puget Sound, allowing five hits, one run and striking out 15 Loggers en route to a 5-1 Linfield victory. 15 strikeouts marks the third most in a game in Linfield program history.
 
Earlier this season, Swenson set the program record for strikeouts in a game with 17 against Pacific Lutheran and has separated himself as one of the most dominant and diverse pitchers in the Northwest Conference this season.
 
The Camas High School product is majoring in sports management and is the son of Diane and Gregg Swenson.
