For the second time this season and the fourth time in his career, New London’s Corey Chaffins, a junior, has been named the Mid-American Conference West Division Pitcher of the Week, while pitching for Eastern Michigan University.

Chaffins, who improved to 2-0, was stellar on the mound for the Eagles against Jacksonville State University on Friday, earning his second victory of the season after going 6 2/3 innings and giving up five runs on six hits.

He also tied a season-high in strikeouts with eight, to help the Eagles claim the 10-8 win.
