WICHITA, Kan. -- Wichita State sophomore Payton Tolle was selected to the American Athletic Conference Weekly Honor Roll, the conference announced Monday. This is the fourth weekly honor of the season for Tolle, who was named Player of the Week on March 6 and April 24 and to the Honor Roll on March 20.
Tolle put together yet another quality start in Saturday's win over Memphis, striking out nine while issuing just one walk. He allowed a run on three hits in the second inning, but bounced back with five scoreless frames while the Shocker offense took control. Tolle improved to 8-1 on the season to go along with a 3.37 ERA that ranks third in the American Athletic Conference. He leads the circuit with 66.2 IP and the eight wins while holding opponents to a .217 batting average, and ranks third with 75 strikeouts.
At the plate, Tolle went 5-for-10 with two doubles and two home runs for the week, including homers on both Friday and Sunday of the Memphis series. He is now hitting .331 with 10 home runs and 41 RBI, tied for fourth-most in the conference.
Tolle and the Shockers are back in action on Tuesday against Kansas State. First pitch from Eck Stadium is scheduled for 6:00 pm.
