BREVARD, N.C. – Junior right-handed pitcher Jacob Thompson was selected as the USA South Conference Baseball Player of the Week after a complete game performance vs. Methodist, as the Brevard College baseball team earned an 8-3 victory in game one and took two out of three games from the Monarchs to win its fourth USA South series of the season.
 
Thompson, a third-year BC student-athlete, allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits with one walk and four strikeouts in the winning effort for the Tornados.
 
Saturday's effort marked the third complete game of his collegiate career. Thompson was selected to the USA South Baseball All-Tournament team in 2023 following a complete-game shutout over the Monarchs in the first round of the USA South Tournament.
 
The Tornados are in action tomorrow for a non-conference home bout with Bob Jones University at 4 p.m. before hitting the road this weekend for a conference set vs. Greensboro College in High Point, North Carolina at Truist Point – the home of the Atlantic League's High Point Rockers.
