Palms Named Ivy Co-Pitcher of the Week
April 21, 2009 | Baseball
Princeton sophomore starting pitcher David Palms was named the Ivy League Co-Pitcher of the Week on Tuesday following the complete-game shutout he pitched on Sunday against Penn.
Palms pitched seven shutout innings and scattered three hits to lead Princeton to a 5-0 shutout of Penn in Sunday's first game. The win was Palms' third straight as he lowered his team's best ERA to 2.74. The senior was in command for much of the game, striking out four batters and only seeing six Quakers reach base.
Palms' ERA is also tops among all Ivy League starting pitchers and ranks 58th nationally in the category. His Ivy only ERA of 2.77 ranks third in the Ivy League behind Princeton sophomore closer Matt Grabowski (2.16) and Harvard's Brent Suter (2.21).
Princeton is currently tied atop the Gehrig Division standings with an 8-8 league record. The Tigers are tied with Cornell and the teams meet this weekend in a home-and-home series. If either team wins the series, that team wins the division. If the team's split, there will be a playoff game. A split would also open the door for Columbia to reenter the race. The Lions sit two games back of both Princeton and Cornell with a four-game series remaining against Penn.
