THIS WEEK: After beating eventual WCC member Pacific on Tuesday, 5-2, the Dons are set to host the final homestand of the 2012 season against Santa Clara. The three-game WCC series starts on Friday, May 11 at 3:00 p.m. in what could be Junior RHP Kyle Zimmer’s last start at Benedetti Diamond in his collegiate career. After Saturday’s 1:00 p.m. game, the Sunday series finale will start at 1:00 p.m. with a special pre-game Senior Day ceremony. Nine seniors and redshirt junior, Jared Denham, will be honored prior to the game. Following the game, the inaugural 2012 Hilltop Awards ceremony will take place at 6:30 p.m. in War Memorial Gym. WEEK THAT WAS: The Dons went 2-2 last week beating Sacramento State 10-1, before winning one of three against Pepperdine in Malibu, CA. The Dons won the series opener against the Waves in convincing fashion behind redshirt sophomore Abe Bobb’s first career complete game. Bobb’s effort earned him his second WCC Pitcher of the Week honors this season. LOOKING AHEAD: After playing Santa Clara, the Dons enter the final week of the 2012 season. USF will travel to play Pac-12 power Stanford on Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. and then conclude the season with a three-game set against Saint Mary’s in Moraga, CA. GOLDEN SPIKES WATCH LIST: Junior RHP Kyle Zimmer was named to the 60-Man Midseason Golden Spikes Award Watch List last week. The La Jolla, Calif., native leads the WCC in shutouts (2), strikeouts (85), and strikeouts per nine innings (10.02). LIVE VIDEO/AUDIO/STATS: http://client.stretchinternet.com/client/usf.portal#
