This week Sterns Trailers is honored to recognize a former pitching all-star from Ocean Township High School who now plays ball at Brookdale Community College as The Link News Athlete of the Week.
Nick Panduri is a freshman right hander who last week was named the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Player of the Week. He pitched 14 innings for the Jersey Blues of Brookdale.
He scattered fourteen hits in three games, two were complete shut-out wins. Panduri walked none and struckout 18, improving his personal record to 3-0, and the team is now 24-15 overall.
With the 54-28 win over Shore Regional, the Spartans of Ocean Township won their first Shore Conference Divisional title since 1997.
