New London's Corey Chaffins was named the Mid-American Conference (West Division) Pitcher of the Week last week for his pitching performance for Eastern Michigan University.

Chaffins was also named to the CollegeBaseball360.com "Primetime Performer Weekly Honor Roll".

In the Eagles' 3-1 victory over the No. 25 ranked Kansas University, Chaffins struck out eight batters in seven innings. He allowed just one run on three hits and a walk to lead EMU to its second-straight season opening victory. In his second start, Chaffins picked up a no-decision against the University of South Alabama, after going seven innings, giving up four earned runs and striking out three.
