COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - For the third time this season, San Diego State sophomore right-hander Stephen Strasburg has been named one of three Louisville Slugger National Players of the Week by "Collegiate Baseball" Newspaper.

Strasburg tossed his third consecutive complete-game victory in the Aztecs' 8-1 win at BYU last Thursday. He allowed just two hits and walked one, while striking out 15, his second highest total of the season. It was the sixth straight contest in which he finished in double figures in strikeouts. After giving up a base hit in the fourth, which led to an unearned run on a wild pitch, Strasburg struck out the next seven batters and faced only one batter over the minimum in his final 5.2 innings. With his 15 K's, Strasburg broke the MWC record for strikeouts in a season for conference games with 92 and also finished league play with a 0.63 earned run average to set a new league all-time mark.
