Gagner pitched seven shutout innings against Cal State Fullerton on Mar. 7 to the end the Titans seven-game winning streak. In that game he only allowed two hits and struck out three batters, shutting down a Cal State Fullerton offense that came into the game averaging 9.7 runs per game. In that game Gagner also helped hand Titan ace Ryan Schreppel the first loss of his collegiate career. It is the second week in a row a Minnesota pitcher has earned this honor. Last week C.J. Woodrow (Plymouth, Minn.) claimed the honors.
Hunter batted .667 with five RBI on the week. He went eight for 12 on the week with two doubles. On Mar. 7, he was two for three with three RBI against No. 2 Cal State Fullerton as he helped lead the Golden Gopher to a 7-1 victory over the Titans. Hunter was also three for four with an RBI against Cal State Fullerton on Mar. 9 in an 8-7 Minnesota win. In that game he had the hit in the eighth inning to set up the game-winning double by David Roach (Clearwater, Fla.). He was also three for five against Minnesota-Duluth on Mar. 5.
