(ALISO VIEJO, Calif.) For the second time in as many weeks, Westmont has itself a Golden State Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week. Sophomore right-hander Bradley Heacock is the next Warrior to earn the honor, following freshman Bryan Peck last week.
 
Heacock, who made 14 appearances in relief as a freshman, has seamlessly made the transition to a Warriors starting rotation that has been their biggest strength this season. In three starts, Heacock has earned the win in each contest while limiting the opposition to a .182 batting average.
 
This past Saturday, Heacock was the first Warrior to take the mound in a road start, but the Yucaipa native still looked right at home. Heacock fired six shutout innings while striking out a career-high six batters against the Marymount Mariner in an eventual 10-0 win for the Warriors.
 
Overall, in 16 innings of work, the right-hander has struck out 15 while surrendering just two runs and one walk.
 
Westmont opens up GSAC play on Friday when they host Menlo at Russ Carr Field for a doubleheader beginning at 11:00 a.m. Peck is slated to start game one on Friday, with Heacock ready to go for the first game on Saturday.
 
Combined, Peck and Heacock have allowed just three runs in 34 innings.
