ASHEVILLE - The South Atlantic League announced its weekly awards earlier today for the week of April 15th-21st. The recipient of the South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Week is Asheville Tourists lefty Ryan Rolison.
The Jackson, Tennessee native made one start last week, in Hickory, and tossed six shutout innings en route to his second win of the campaign. Rolison allowed just two hits, struck out seven, and did not walk a batter. The lefty retired the first 16 batters he faced in the 2-0 Tourists win.
