BILOXI, MS - The Southern League announced on Monday morning that pitcher Brent Suter has been named its Pitcher of the Week for June 15-21. This is the second straight week a Biloxi pitcher has taken home the Pitcher of the Week honor. Brooks Hall took home the honor last week.

Over two starts, Suter tossed 13 innings and struck out 12 batters, both numbers good for tops in the league. The Cincinnati, Ohio native began the week on June 15 in a 2-1 win at Mississippi. Earning his fourth win of the season, Suter fired six shutout innings, allowing just three hits, while fanning five Braves batters. The southpaw made his second start in the Shuckers 1-0 win over Montgomery on June 20. Over seven more shutout frames, Suter struck out seven batters, giving up just five hits. While he was unable to record the win, his outstanding effort kept Biloxi close enough to take the eventual one-run victory in the 15th inning. This is the Harvard product's second career weekly honor after the Florida State League selected him on July 1, 2013.

On the season, Suter is 4-2 in 12 games, eight starts, with a team-leading 1.73 ERA over 57.1 innings pitched with 24 walks and 47 strikeouts, holding opponents to a .231 batting average. In four outings during the month of June, the 31st round selection in 2012 is 1-1 with a 0.75 ERA, allowing just two earned runs over 24 innings pitched.
