Tristan Calmes – UHSP (MO) – Tristan Calmes of UHSP (MO) delivered one of the most overpowering starts of the NAIA season, earning Pitcher of the Week honors after a dominant complete-game performance in the Eutectics’ 3-2 win over Columbia (MO). The senior right-hander went the full nine innings, allowing five hits and two earned runs while racking up an eye-popping 17 strikeouts. Calmes controlled the game from the outset, missing bats at an elite rate and shutting down any momentum Columbia tried to build. In a tightly contested matchup, his ability to take over and carry his team across the finish line made this outing stand above the rest.
