CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – ESPN Clarksville and Bojangles are recognizing Michael Costanzo as the Bojangles APSU Athlete of the Week from Austin Peay State University. Costanzo is a sophomore starting pitcher for the Governors.
Costanzo, was masterful in his third career start, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning of the Govs game 2 victory against Bradley, 8-4, Saturday. He went 6.1 innings, allowing the two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out eight batters. It was his first victory as a starting pitcher and third career win.
The left-hander got his start going in style, striking out the Braves in the first. Costanzo hit a batter to start the second inning, but settled back in and retired the next 16 batters he faced before allowing a walk in the seventh. He would eventually lose the no-hitter on a two-run home run in the seventh but still picked up the win.
Congratulations to Michael Costanzo, the ESPN Clarksville, Bojangles APSU Athlete of the Week.
