North Georgia's Jacob Rickett was named the Peach Belt Conference Pitcher of the Week, announced Tuesday by the league office. Rickett is the first Saints player to earn a conference weekly award this season.
Rickett (11 saves) came out of the bullpen to throw eight innings in relief, giving up four hits and no earned runs, while striking out 12 on Sunday as the Saints clinched a spot in the upcoming PBC tournament with a 5-3 win.
