SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco State baseball's Nathan Shinn has been selected as the FloCollege/CCAA Baseball Pitcher of the Week for the week of April 21-27. 

Shinn pitched eight shutout innings in relief to lead the Gators to a win in the series opener against Cal State East Bay. The left-hander entered the game in the third inning with his team already trailing 2-0. He gave up a hit to the first batter he faced, which extended the lead to 4-0, but he would allow only six hits and no walks the rest of the game. The Gators would battle back with runs in each of the last three innings before walking off when Michael Cunningham scored on a wild pitch in the 10th inning. Shinn struck out six and was not charged with an earned run. 

The Pleasanton native now sits fourth in the CCAA with a 3.10 earned run average, and he is second with 71 strikeouts. His eight wins have Shinn tied for the conference lead.

This is Shinn's first career CCAA Pitcher of the Week award. He is the third Gator to earn this honor in 2025 (David Eichhorn & Ryan Garza). 

San Francisco State (29-16, 24-12 CCAA) won three of the four games over Cal State East Bay to move into a tie for first place with Cal State Dominguez Hills (28-17, 24-12 CCAA). The Gators are also one game ahead of Cal State Monterey Bay (30-15, 23-13 CCAA), and they will conclude their regular season with a four-game series against the Otters starting on Thursday, May 1.
