Noah Larkin Award Pitcher of the Week Week Of 4/4/2022 Sport Baseball School Cal Poly Year Freshman Position Hometown Pacifica, CA High School Burlingame HS True freshman left-hander Noah Larkin earned a pair of wins as Cal Poly went a perfect 5-0 during a non-conference home stand last week. Larkin first put together a five-inning stint in just his second collegiate starting assignment, a 15-6 victory over Santa Clara on Tuesday night. He allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out three against the Broncos, who had entered with a 15-8 overall record. The product of Pacifica then threw a season-long 6.1 frames of shutout relief in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader sweep over Dixie State, as the Mustangs came from behind to take a narrow 6-4 decision. Larkin took over in the second with his team trailing 4-1, and gave up just three singles and a pair of walks while fanning three more. Larkin (2-1) lowered his season ERA from 6.48 down to 3.20. The 5-0 week was Cal Poly’s first in eight years. The Mustangs (18-10) have now won a season-high six in a row, and 11 of their last 12. They are co-leaders in The Big West. A first-time Big West Pitcher of the Week, Larkin is Cal Poly’s third honoree this season, with Drew Thorpe a two-time winner on March 14 and March 28.
