POINT LOOKOUT, Mo. -- For the second time this season and third time in his Bruin career, Bellevue University senior Kyle Kinman was named the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference's Pitcher of the Week.

Kinman picked up the win in Bellevue's 4-3 victory at York College on April 6. He recorded 13 strikeouts and gave up just five hits in eight innings. He also batted .364 with a double and two home runs last week.
